Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey has called for video technology to help with crucial decisions after his goal against Liverpool during Monday’s 0-0 draw at the Emirates Stadium was ruled out for offside.

Ramsey ran through onto Santi Cazorla‘s pass in the first half and slotted home past Liverpool goalkeeper Simon Mignolet, only to realise that assistant referee Simon Bennett had raised his flag.

“I thought I held my run a bit, I thought I was onside but I obviously took a glance over to make sure and saw the flag was up,” the 24-year-old told the British media.

“The replays suggest I was onside – it should have stood – but obviously the linesman thought it was offside,” he added.

“At the end of the day we should have been 1-0 up.”

“To look at a video for 20 seconds would have maybe changed the outcome of the game,” the Wales international added.

“I think we could take a leaf out of rugby – they do it really well. You see it on the screens, they go off for 20 seconds and they get the decision right in the end,” Ramsey said.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger was disappointed that Ramsey’s goal was disallowed.

“It was a regular goal. It was a period of the game where we maybe had the most problems defensively but it’s a regular goal,” the 65-year-old said.

“I can’t see why it was cancelled. It’s clear and on that front you cannot say that Liverpool can complain,” the Frenchman added.

The French manager has ruled out signing a defensive midfielder before the transfer window shuts, saying he is happy with his options.

The Gunners have been criticised by pundits and some fans for not buying another holding midfielder to support Francis Coquelin, who broke into the first team last season after being recalled from a loan spell with second tier side Charlton Athletic.

The only competition for Coquelin is captain Mikel Arteta, 33, who has just returned from a calf injury after six months out, and an aging Mathieu Flamini, who has only one year left on his contract.

“Everybody has their opinion and everybody is entitled to have an opinion. I could prove to you that it’s not necessarily right,” Wenger said when asked about the need for more ‘powerful’ midfielders by reporters.

“I think I have enough experience and intelligence to know when it’s right and when it’s wrong.”
