"And why the hell doesn't VAR look at 2nd yellow offences? So dumb." Meanwhile, other Gunners supporters were left raging at the decision. One said: "CORRUPTION!!! NEVER A YELLOW." Another added: "Absolutely ridiculous! First yellow was harsh, Tomi only had ball in his hands for 8 seconds and second yellow was a joke." A third replied: "These refs are going to ruin the Premier League." FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALS - BEST NEW CUSTOMER OFFERS And a fourth responded: "Somebody should give the VAR officials a red card." Claims of corruption surrounding the incident are totally unfounded. Yet despite the red card, Arsenal held on to beat Palace 1-0 and maintain their perfect start to the season. Arteta's men opened their Premier League campaign with a 2-1 victory over Nottingham Forest . And the victory over Palace means they now have six points from a possible six with two games remaining until the international break. Both of those come at home against Fulham and Manchester United .){kind=link}
