London's „Arsenal“ played a thrilling match on Tuesday, ending in a 1:1 draw against the „Leicester“ team. The match was filled with controversial referee decisions. Firstly, at the end of the first half, „Leicester“ forward Jamie Vardy hit Shkodran Mustafi in the face with his football boot, but avoided more serious sanctions. Then, in the 75th minute, „Arsenal“ forward Edward Nketiah saw a red card for a foul on himself. There was much debate about the equalizing goal by the „Leicester“ team, as J. Vardy was in an offside position. After the match, „Arsenal“ coach Mikel Arteta did not hide his disappointment with the referee's decisions. „I am very proud of my team. We dominated against a very good team. In the first half, we could have had a three or even four-goal advantage. Nketiah was shown a red card, but in that incident he could not see the opponent. It needs to be understood that he is still very young. However, if that mistake was worthy of a red card, then the „Leicester“ team should have been left with only ten players since the 42nd minute. The referee should have shown a red card“, said M. Arteta.
