Arteta âincredibly fumingâ as he slams âcompletely unacceptableâ decision to overturn Arsenal penalty
Mikel Arteta slammed the decision to overturn a late penalty for his Arsenal side in their draw with Atletico Madrid as âcompletely unacceptableâ.
Arsenal will take a 1-1 draw back to the Emirates for the second leg of their Champions League semi-final, after Julian Alvarez equalised with a penalty following Viktor Gyokeresâ opener, also from the penalty spot.
Artetaâs side thought they had earned a third penalty of the game when Ebere Eze went down under a challenge from David Hancko late in the second half, only for the referee to overturn his original decision after watching it back on the pitch-side monitor.
And the Arsenal boss says he was left âvery upsetâ with the decision.
