After learning that their barricade was moved too far back for Bruno Fernandes’ incredible free kick, Arsenal supporters are furious.

With a spectacular set-piece goal from their captain just before halftime, Manchester United broke the 1-1 stalemate.

Alejandro Garnacho won the free-kick after Leandro Trossard fouled him on the box’s edge.

Referee Anthony Taylor walked Arsenal’s rearguard backwards while Fernandes stood over the ball.

United’s talisman managed to produce enough power and dip to beat the jumping wall and David Raya in goal, even though man mountains in the form of Riccardo Calafiori, Jurrien Timber, Mikel Merino, Gabriel, and Declan Rice formed the line.

However, astute supporters saw that Arsenal’s five-man barricade appeared to be far away from the ball’s location.

“The wall looks a fair way back,” Gary Neville said in commentary after noticing it right away. It seems to be giving him a chance. It appears to be a mile away.

“Normally, when you see the wall, especially a large one like that, it always appears to be quite challenging to climb up and over.

“There just seemed to be so much space, so much space that he didn’t even have to go that high up into the net.”

Later, Sky Sports verified that the wall was actually 11.2 yards away, rather than the required 10.

You could tell “something was wrong” since the ball only got “half way up the net,” Neville noted after the game.

One angry Arsenal supporter said, “If Arsenal were a yard closer to the Bruno free-kick, it hits the wall.” Fans were furious.

Another stated: “The extra 1.2 yards gave the ball enough space to get up and over the wall.”

Another person said: “There’s a lot that was our fault about going behind, but the wall being over a metre too far back is unbelievably poor refereeing.”

“Arsenal fans complaining about how far away the wall was lined up might be a new low,” United supporters retorted.

The reply from More was, “You find any excuse.”

“Happy that the wall was about 15 meters away, so it was perfect for him to put it over,” Christian Eriksen said in reference to the free-kick.

“I believe I caught a glimpse of it before the kick. We were clearly a little upset with the referee for placing us so far back when they had it in the second half.

Instead of criticizing the wall, Gunners hero and commentator Paul Merson criticized Raya’s placement, saying that Raya was “getting nowhere near it.”

As Fernandes went up to the ball, Joshua Zirkzee and Casemiro pushed Thomas Partey into the keeper’s eyeline, which was praised by Jamie Redknapp.

The commentator also expressed amazement that Arsenal’s wall did not surge forward and instead remained behind the magic spray line.

If Raya was at fault, he later atoned for it with incredible stops that prevented a late Fernandes opportunity to win it and Noussair Mazraoui from winning it.
