M. Arteta: Two scandalous 11 meter penalties were not awarded © PA

“Arsenal” yesterday after a long break dropped points in the Premier League.

In a home match, Mikel Arteta's students played 0:0 against the Newcastle United team. The specialist from Spain was particularly aggressive at the end of the match on the touchline, demanding the referee to award a penalty kick to the Newcastle goal.

M. Arteta also had a minor conflict with Eddie Howe.

After the match, the Arsenal strategist spoke about suspicious situations: “I am very proud of my players. Yes, the way we played, the way we dominated the match, the way we tried, controlled the game. In the last third of the field, we just lacked a spark. Then there were not even two penalty kicks awarded.”

No matter which situation was more convincing. It was two penalty kicks, simple as that. I'm not talking about refereeing, I'm talking about what I saw and those were two scandalous penalties,” - said M. Arteta.
