New calls for Mikel Arteta punishment as FA urged to stop Arsenal boss 'causing problems'

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has come under fire lately for his touchline antics during games that has seen him stray from his designated technical area on the side of the pitch. The Spaniard was pictured far out from the box on the touchline during the London derby against Chelsea last week, intensifying the calls to action.

The Laws of the Game state that those who are in the technical area must remain inside the allotted space and behave in a responsible manner. This is a rule often ignored by Premier League managers and coaches across all games, however it's Arteta that has come in for the most criticism.

beIN Sports presenter Richard Keys gave a scathing criticism of the Arsenal boss, tweeting a picture of the Spaniard outside his technical area with the caption: "Why is this allowed every week @FA_PGMOL? Arteta has been jumping up & down all game - way outside his technical area. Potter is in his & 4th is watching. Do something about this man."
