Mikel Arteta responds to being called out for "disrespectful" Arsenal touchline antics

Mikel Arteta Arsenal Newcastle Gunners Newcastle United Alan Shearer EPL

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has claimed that the “competitive” nature of the Premier League can lead to incidents like those seen against Newcastle United.

The Gunners were held to a 0-0 draw at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday evening but felt aggrieved having not won the match. Arteta claimed that the Gunners should have been awarded two penalties firstly after Dan Burn appeared to haul Arsenal defender Gabriel over before an apparent handball from Jacob Murphy in the closing stages.

The two decisions - or indeed lack thereof - left Arteta furious on the touchline at the Emirates Stadium with the Arsenal boss even going as far as saying that the refereeing performance was “scandalous ”. His behaviour was severely criticised by Newcastle icon Alan Shearer.
