🚨 ARTETA FUMES OVER EVERTON PENALTY: “It’s NEVER a Penalty!”
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has slammed the decision to award Everton a penalty, branding the call “completely wrong” after a controversial incident in today’s match.
Arteta’s main points:
“It’s never a penalty.”
He insists the contact began outside the box, and “inside the box there is nothing.”
Should have been a second yellow!
Arteta added that O’Brien should’ve been sent off, saying:
“He had a yellow card and stopped David Raya from playing it out.”
The Gunners boss was visibly frustrated post-match, questioning the officiating standards and demanding consistency in decision-making.
Context:
The penalty in question proved decisive in a tightly contested game, and Arteta’s side may now face repercussions in the title race due to what he sees as a “game-changing error.”
Will the FA respond to his criticism? And will VAR be forced under the spotlight again?
