Manchester City's second goal has left Arsenal fans fuming as they believe John Stones was clearly offside.

Stones headed home from Kevin De Bruyne's free-kick just before half-time, with the linesman raising his flag for offside.

But the goal was reviewed and overturned by VAR, deeming the Man City defender to be in an onside position.

However, Arsenal fans online are convinced the England international was ahead of Ben White when De Bruyne played the ball into the box.

One Twitter user wrote: "How can you judge off this angle!? It's pathetic."

A second tweeted: "He’s offside anyone can see it."

A third added: "Ah I see they remembered to draw the line for this one."

A fourth said: "Nah that’s offside for me - don’t care what VAR and those lines say!"

Another commented: "I've switched off. VAR has destroyed the enjoyment."
