Arsenal and Liverpool had just started their Week 3 game when controversy arrived to Emirates Stadium. Aaron Ramsey was swift enough to get past Simon Mignolet, but the linesman decided to rule out his goal by getting his flag up.
As the evidence shows, Ramsey was clearly onside when the through ball by Cazorla's left foot was kicked. The referee did not listen to the player's claims for justice, and called for the game to continue.
This was one of the turning points during the game, since Arsenal were not able to dominate Liverpool for the remainder of the first half, giving the Reds some good chances to score, including one shot that hit the woodwork and another try by Christian Benteke, who say his shot denied by Petr Cech.
Here's what fans from both teams thought about the linesman's decision.
Aaron Ramsey has a goal disallowed for offside. SO ONSIDE!!

Ramsey scores, but it's offside. It wasn't offside I think.

Some sources recalled what happened last week with the Reds controversial game-winning goal.

HT: 0-0. Somehow it's goalless. Chambers having an absolute 'mare. Cech incredible. Ramsey goal wrongly ruled offside. Changes needed.
