After Arsenal – Newcastle – Mikel Arteta berates the referee: “It’s simple: there are two outrageous penalties”

It’s a game that started like a long siesta and ended in a big bazaar. We had to wait for the very last minutes of Arsenal – Newcastle for the first excess of fever. In question, a contentious action after five minutes of additional time. The whole stadium then calls for a hand in the surface of Jacob Murphy. But neither the referee nor the VAR flinch. If the images show that the Newcastle player touched the ball with his hand, the penalty does not appear obvious. The distance between the center of Arsenal, Granit Xhaka in this case, and Murphy is very small.

However, the blood of Mikel Arteta has only made one turn. The Gunners manager put mad pressure on the fourth referee, triggering the wrath of his counterpart, Eddie Howe. After the meeting and the draw between the two teams (0-0)the temperature has not dropped: “I’m not talking about the referee, I’m talking about what I saw. It’s simple, there are two penalties, two outrageous penalties“Insisted Arteta in front of the microphones. The Spanish coach refers to another fault, more gross this one: an obvious shirt pulling on Gabriel in the Magpies penalty area.

A penalty would have been a bad joke for us

Eddie Howe, the Newcastle coach, obviously has a different reading of the events: “Of course at this moment of the match I thought ‘oh no, the guys have given so much’, and a penalty would have been a bad joke for ushe told the microphone of Sky Sports. I don’t think there was a fault, but you never know… I’m very happy with the result and there is no problem between Mikel and me” Arteta, he did not digest. It must be said that these points dropped on Tuesday could be worth a lot when it comes to doing the accounts and Arsenal could, in the event of a victory, increase their lead to ten points over Manchester. City What, indeed, have some reason to complain.
