Has VAR CHAOS masked Man United mess?

VAR 'fury' felt like it may have finally peaked this weekend...

A Manchester derby dogged by refereeing controversy just 24 hours after Mikel Arteta gave 'Pro Ref' both barrels after Arsenal’s win against Sunderland on a weekend when Premier League refereeing seemed to be in crisis.

Gabby, Mark & Nedum get into the fallout from the latest VAR disaster and also look at the problems facing Man United after their defeat to 10 man Man City left Michael Carrick’s side with just four points from four games.

There’s also athletics after ‘The ultimate’ World Championships saw most British athletes not named Josh Kerr come up short - and Gabby weighs in on Sydney Sweeney's highly controversial sports gambling advert after female athletes at this weekend's Ultimate Championships showed everyone "what women in sport look like".
