Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta lashed out at recent refereeing decisions that went against his side at “crucial moments” against Manchester City and Newcastle United, which could have made all the difference in the Premier League title race.
The Gunners saw their nine-point gap atop the table dissipated in the span of 12 days, headlined by their 2–1 defeat to title-chasers Man City last weekend. Arsenal followed up the disappointing defeat with a 1–0 win over Newcastle on Saturday to reclaim first place, but Arteta honed his focus on another controversial call that went against his team.
