Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta branded a "clown" in scathing criticism after Richard Keys rant

Chris Sutton has become the latest pundit to criticise Mikel Arteta following his touchline antics against Newcastle on Tuesday night.

Arteta protested vehemently after Arsenal's appeal for a penalty against Jacob Murphy's handball was turned down by referee Andy Madley, as the game finished goalless. The Gunners boss berated fourth official Jarred Gillett and clashed with Eddie Howe.

The likes of Alan Shearer and Richard Keys have criticised Arteta for his overzealous appeal, while Ian Wright has defended him. Premier League winner Sutton has now waded in the debate by claiming Arteta acted like a "clown" during Tuesday night's game.
