Mikel Arteta angry post-Tottenham rant in full: Six month suspension, Paul Tierney and Newcastle message

Mikel Arteta fumed in his post-match interview following Arsenal's 3-0 defeat to Spurs that leaves the Gunners just one point clear in fourth place.

The Gunners started the game on the front foot but soon fell behind after Cedric was deemed to have fouled Heung-Min Son in the penalty area, with Harry Kane converting from the spot to give Spurs a 1-0 lead after 20 minutes. Rob Holding was then sent off by referee Paul Tierney for a second bookable offence after the defender blocked Son's run through towards goal to the frustration of Arteta.

Kane added a second shortly after the sending off, before Son wrapped up the win for the hosts two minutes into the second half to make it 3-0. Arsenal's night got even worse as Gabriel had to come off injured with a suspected hamstring injury that could see the Brazilian miss the remaining two games of the season.
