Why Arsenal should have had penalty vs Hull City

Pundits and former officials argue Arsenal should have been awarded a first-half penalty during their 1-0 win over Hull City. Referee Farai Hallam reviewed a foul on Kai Havertz via VAR monitor at the request of Michael Oliver, but decided against awarding a spot-kick because Havertz was standing in an offside position.

According to the rules cited by Dale Johnson and former official Darren Cann, the foul occurred prior to any active offside offense and should have taken precedence. Despite the missed decision, Arsenal ultimately secured the victory courtesy of a second-half goal from Martin Odegaard.
