Arsenal news: Mikel Arteta admits Bukayo Saka mistake amid Pep Guardiola meeting

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has hinted he may have made a mistake on the touchline by giving the ball to Bukayo Saka to take a throw-in during the Gunners' 3-2 win over Waterford earlier this month.

The Gunners launched a quick attack after the throw-in thanks to Arteta's assistance – although it has been suggested the manager's interference should have led to the goal being ruled out as he left his technical area to retrieve the ball. And the Arsenal boss has now opened up about the incident and hinted he may have made a mistake.

It comes as Arteta has opened up on having dinner at Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola's house. And Arsenal loanee Lucas Torreira made an incredibly rash decision during Fiorentina's 1-1 draw with Inter Milan on Saturday – by pulling his own tooth out on the pitch rather than leaving the field of play to be treated.
