Mikel Arteta after the draw with Brighton had criticisms regarding the awarded penalty kick against Arsenal.

William Saliba collided with Joao Pedro in the penalty area, and the referee deemed it a foul worthy of a penalty kick.

After the match, the Arsenal manager did not hide his disappointment: "I have never seen that in my life.”

I am very disappointed. Saliba also touched the ball in that situation.”

At that moment, Brighton coach Fabian Hurzeler disagreed: "I don’t understand how they can say that.. it was a clear penalty.”
