Mikel Arteta raged and Arsenal released a statement after more VAR chaos in the Premier League - but Liverpool already know all about it
And if there were any suspicions that the Arsenal manager is still scarred by last season's Premier League heartbreak, then the ferocity at which he conducted his post-match media duties shortly after the Gunners' 1-0 defeat at St James' Park on Saturday night confirmed just that.
Ironically just weeks after Arteta insisted that Liverpool and other clubs in the Premier League needed to "understand" that "mistakes happen" in the wake of Luis Diaz's wrongly disallowed goal at Tottenham Hotspur, the Gunners boss is now sheepishly trying to remove the borders of football tribalism that he had made conscious effort to draw out only weeks ago.
In the aftermath of such unprecedented events in North London, Liverpool welcomed the opportunity for the battle lines of football tribalism to be temporarily abolished in pursuit of holding the PGMOL and chief Howard Webb to higher levels of accountability. Now, though, after suffering VAR despair at St James' Park, Arteta's found himself on the other side of the fence, with a club statement released on Sunday afternoon demanding the PGMOL and the rest of the Premier League work together "to achieve the world-class officiating standards our league demands".
