Arsenal supervisor Mikel Arteta may escape disciplinary motion regardless of his spectacular rant following the 1-0 defeat to Newcastle. Arteta was incensed at referee Stuart Attwell’s determination to permit Anthony Gordon’s Sixty fourth-minute winner after the objective handed three separate VAR checks.

While his post-match feedback, branding the decision-making “embarrassing” and “an absolute disgrace” after his aspect misplaced their unbeaten Premier League document, is perhaps anticipated to land him in scorching water with the FA, he was cautious to not accuse officers of bias and was not abusive in direction of them.

He could properly have stayed simply the best aspect of the road in venting his fury. And as such he may escape punishment regardless of the extent of his anger.

Arteta raged: “Embarrassing what happened - how this goal stands, in the Premier League - this league we say is the best in the world. I've been 20 years in this country and now I feel ashamed.

“It's a disgrace and there's too much at stake here. We are trying to do incredible things and be at the highest level each week. When we're not good enough I hold my hands up and take responsibility.

“The outcome is nowhere near the level this league needs to have and the way this league is getting competed in. It's not good enough. I feel embarrassed to be part of this.”

Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya backed his supervisor’s take that the objective - which was scrutinised for the ball doubtlessly rolling out of play within the build-up, a possible foul by Joelinton on Gabriel and whether or not Gordon was offside - ought to by no means have stood.

“What I could see was the ball went out of play, and then after going to the dressing room, looking back at the goal, it’s a big foul on Gabi. He’s pushing him with two hands on his back when he’s about to clear the ball,” mentioned Raya.

“It could have been an offside position - that’s harder to see - but the ball out of play and the foul is a massive decision that’s just going to cost us some points. We’re really frustrated.”

Arsenal will hope to channel their frustrations positively within the Champions League at residence to Sevilla on Wednesday night time. Victory would put them on 9 factors from a doable 12 with video games at residence to Lens and away to PSV to return in Group B.
