Arsenal 2-2 Crystal Palace: Why was Arsenal's winning goal ruled out?

On a toxic evening of controversy and vitriol, which included Arsenal captain Granit Xhaka appearing to swear at the home supporters after being booed, the Gunners thought they had snatched victory in the 85th minute when Sokratis Papastathopoulos bundled the ball in after a corner. ">

After lengthy celebrations, and despite no apparent protests from the Palace players, the goal was ruled out for a foul - believed to have been committed by Calum Chambers.

But replays of the goal, which weren't shown in the ground in any case, proved inconclusive, suggesting that Chambers had in fact been pushed and then tripped during the scramble.
