The head coach “Arsenal ” Spanish Mikel Arteta criticized the referee’s decision to count the goal “Newcastle ” against his team during the 11th round match of the English Championship.
On Saturday, the Gunners suffered their first defeat of the season in the Premier League, losing to the Magpies with a score of 0: 1. The only goal was scored in the 64th minute by Anthony Gordon. The moment of the goal was examined by the VAR for several minutes, because in one of the attacking phases the ball could have gone out of bounds.
– The result should not be like this, there are several reasons for this. If there was a team that wanted to win the game today, it was Arsenal.
It’s a shame what happened, how a goal was scored in the Premier League, a league we call the best league in the world. I lived in this country for 20 years and now I am ashamed. It’s a shame and the stakes are too high.
We try to do incredible things and be at the highest level every week. When we’re not good enough, I raise my hand and take responsibility.
The results are far from what this league should be and how this league competes. It’s not very good. I’m embarrassed to be part of this,” Arteta was quoted as saying by the BBC.
Arsenal remained in third place in the Premier League table with 24 points. Newcastle scored 20 points and moved up to sixth place.
