Mikel Arteta fumes at Newcastle’s winning goal against Arsenal<\/h3>\n

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta could escape disciplinary action despite his spectacular rant following the 1-0 defeat to Newcastle. Arteta was incensed at referee Stuart Attwell\u2019s decision to allow Anthony Gordon\u2019s 64th-minute winner after the goal passed three separate VAR checks.<\/p>\n

While his post-match comments, branding the decision-making \u201cembarrassing\u201d and \u201can absolute disgrace\u201d after his side lost their unbeaten Premier League record, might be expected to land him in hot water with the FA, he was careful not to accuse officials of bias and was not abusive towards them.<\/p>\n

He may well have stayed just the right side of the line in venting his fury. And as such he could escape punishment despite the extent of his anger.<\/p>\n

Arteta raged: \u201cEmbarrassing 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.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’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.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya backed his manager\u2019s take that the goal – which was scrutinised for the ball potentially rolling out of play in the build-up, a potential foul by Joelinton on Gabriel and whether Gordon was offside – should never have stood.<\/p>\n
