Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta says it his "duty" to defend the club after he criticised the officiating in last Saturday'sHe said the decision to allow Anthony Gordon's winner at St James' Park was "embarrassing" and a "disgrace".
"My duty is to defend my players and my club in best possible way. It is what I intend to do time after time. Three areas around Gordon's goal were checked by Saturday's video assistant referee on three counts - to see if the ball went out of play in the build-up, if there was a foul and if there was an offside - with all coming back in Newcastle's favour.
"We have a duty to express how we feel on the evidence we have. We have to stand for our people, our values and who we are," Arteta added on Tuesday.
