Mikel Arteta was furious after seeing Arsenal’s unbeaten start to the Premier League season ended by a controverial Anthony Gordon goal at Newcastle., but the goal only stood after a lengthy VAR check that studied three separate things: whether the ball went out of play in the build-up, whether Joelinton had fouled Gabriel in assisting Gordon, and whether Gordon himself was offside.
“It’s embarrassing, it’s a disgrace, that’s what it is: a disgrace. There’s so much at stake, we’ve put in so many hours. I’m here to represent the football club and get my team to compete at the highest level. Newcastle boss Eddie Howe unsurprisingly had a different take on events, telling Sky Sports: “It was a really tough game but a massive win. Full credit to the players for what they gave. I thought that was a really battling performance.
“I haven’t seen anything other than the long-term vision I had at the time. It looked a good goal but everyone else will have a different opinion to me.”
