Arsenal boss Jonas Eidevall is left bewildered by 'weird' goalpost farce in 1-0 win over Ajax

Arsenal’s Champions League clash with Ajax turned into a farce on Wednesday night after the English club discovered the goals were ten centimetres too small. Arsenal realised the goalposts at Sportpark De Toekomst by 10 centimetres on Wednesday Jonas Eidevall's side asked adjustments to be made before kick-off and again at half-time ‘It’s been a very weird experience coming here, a big club like Ajax but we had to measure the goals before the game and it turned out the goals were too small by 10 centimetres,’ Eidevall said. ‘I’ve never experienced anything like that to be honest.’ Eidevall’s side also had to finish the game with 10 players after Beth Mead was forced off with concussion. The Swedish manager's side managed a 3-2 aggregate victory over Dutch giants Ajax The trial of concussion substitutes, introduced by the International Football Association’s board, ended in July. ‘The problem that I have, and if that’s lost in translation, is that I asked the fourth official if we can do a concussion sub and she said yes, and that’s why we are preparing Lina, and then when we are going to do it she says no.’ Vivianne Miedema scored from inside the box to give the visitors the all important 1-0 win ‘We had that break for two-three minutes and we could have spent a lot of that time speaking to the players on how we would have defended with 10 players.
