ARSENAL would be TOP of the Prem table if VAR did not exist.

Despite their 5-1 thumping of Manchester City, Mikel Arteta’s side remain six points behind Liverpool, who have a game in hand.

But if the original decisions in the Gunners’ games had not been overturned by the Stockley Park VAR booth, Arsenal would have had SIX more points, with Liverpool a point worse off.

And that would have seen the Emirates side a point clear of the Anfield outfit.

Arsenal have only seen five decisions changed after VAR intervention in their 24 Prem games so far.

Only one of those – when Kai Havertz’ injury time goal in the 4-2 win over Leicester was initially wrongly flagged, has gone in their favour.

The first of the others saw William Saliba’s yellow card for a “last man” foul on Bournemouth striker Evanilson upgraded – although Arsenal were second best all game as they eventually lost 2-0.

But the other three decisions – while all rightly corrected, denied the Gunners three wins.

Havertz thought he had put his side ahead in the first half of the 1-1 draw at Chelsea, only for the technology to wipe out the strike.

Then an offside call against Gabriel Martinelli in the build-up wiped out Bukayo Saka’s 88th-minute “winner” at Fulham.

And the VAR booth spotting that Mikel Merino’s late shot had deflected past Aston Villa keeper Emi Martinez off Havertz’s forearm meant last month’s clash at the Emirates finished 2-2.

Liverpool’s second goal in the 2-2 draw with Manchester United came with VAR spotting a handball offence by Matthijs de Ligt, ensuring they took a point from the game.

While none of those decisions were wrong, it does show the potential impact of VAR.

Without VAR, Bournemouth would be fourth, three places and five points better off – with PGMOL conceding their “winner” against Newcastle at the start of the season was wrongly disallowed for handball by Dango Ouattara.

Newcastle have had TEN VAR changes in their favour, with only two against, while the technology has cost Man Utd four points.

THREATENING messages were allegedly sent between two boys before a 15-year-old died in a stabbing attack.

Horrified pupils watched on when he was knifed three times in a school courtyard.

Teachers raced to give emergency first aid as the school was put in
lockdown and an air ambulance flew in.

The lad was taken to hospital but he died soon after arrival.

A 15-year-old pupil was detained by police and taken into custody.

He was last night being quizzed on suspicion of murder.

The stabbing happened at 12.17pm as pupils moved between classes at All Saints Catholic High School in Sheffield.

It was claimed the pair had exchanged threatening messages before the incident.

And it came after the school went into lockdown last Wednesday
after a pupil was alleged to have taken a blade in.

One furious parent said: “How can the school have allowed this to happen today?”

Sheffield Heeley Labour MP Louise Haigh said: “Serious questions will have to be answered.”

A fellow pupil paid tribute to the killed teenager.

The 17-year-old said: “He was such a lovely lad, he was cheeky, but was lovely.

“He would make your day better hearing him down that hallway. Teachers loved him, students loved him, everyone loved him.”

A neighbour of the victim, standing beside a shrine of flowers and
candles outside his family home, said: “He went to school this morning and has not come home.

“He always seemed to have a smile on his face. So sad.”

Another neighbour said: “He and his dad were huge Sheffield United
fans. It is just too awful for words.”

South Yorkshire Police’s Assistant Chief Constable Lindsey Butterfield
said: “We know that what has happened will cause significant distress
and concern.

“Our officers will remain on scene and in the local area to offer reassurance to parents, staff and local residents as our
investigation continues.”

South Yorkshire mayor Oliver Coppard said: “This morning a
teenage boy went to school like thousands of others across South Yorkshire but won’t come home.

“A young man who was a member of our community, with his
whole life ahead of him.

“My love, my thoughts and my prayers are with his family and friends, and the whole community of All Saints Catholic High School.”

PM Sir Keir Starmer said: “My heart goes out to the family and
loved ones of the boy, the staff and students at the school, and the
entire community of Sheffield.

“They are grieving the needless loss of a young life and the nation mourns with them.

“Our schools should be places of safety and learning, not violence and fear.

“Tonight a young boy should be returning to the love and safety of
his family.

“We stand and work together against the devastating consequences of knife crime, so no more families know this tragic loss.”
