Gordon turned home the winner in a scrappy game of few chances from close range midway through the second half to end Arsenal’s unbeaten start.
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta branded the VAR decision not to rule out Anthony Gordon’s goal in his side’s 1-0 defeat at Newcastle “an absolute disgrace”.
Arteta, whose side slipped two points behind leaders Manchester City, could not hide his anger after the match.“You have to talk about how the hell did this goal stand up? Incredible. I feel embarrassed,” the 41-year-old Spaniard said. “It’s so difficult to compete at this level and it’s an absolute disgrace. Again, I feel embarrassed.
“I had no idea what was going on with the VAR checks either, so in the lap of the gods really, you’re waiting like everybody else was in the stadium. “We were really competitive. We needed to be. Thankfully we kept 11 men on the pitch. There were more bookings than there needed to be.
