Ivory Coast's Nicolas Pepe came off the bench in the 69th minute and he saw his shot deflected by Erik Pieters' hand which instigated calls for a penalty. Referee Andre Marriner, in his decision, awarded a penalty and showed Pieters a red card, however, both decisions were reversed later after a video review. After the game, Aubameyang – who was named the Man of the Match – urged the club faithful and his teammates to turn their attention to their Europa League round of 16 clash with Olympiacos on Thursday and the North London derby against Tottenham Hotspur next Sunday. “Let’s be honest, VAR on the side, in this game when you produced chances as we did today we should’ve won this game but it is what it is! Let’s move forward, big week coming,” Aubameyang tweeted.
