On Saturday, London's Arsenal won an important victory over Newcastle with a 1:0 score at the Emirates Stadium thanks to an early goal by Eberechi Eze. This result allowed the team to return to the top of the Premier League standings with a lead of three points.

At the post-match press conference, the main topic was not the result, but the emotional speech of Mikel Arteta, which did not stream anger through the decision of the referees.

Arteti's head after the episode involving Victor Jokeres, Newcastle goalkeeper Nick Pope violently fouled the Swedish striker. Head referee Sam Barratt was shown the wrong card, and after a short VAR check the decision was rendered inappropriate..

Last year, the team suffered painful defeats against Manchester City (2:1). The game ended 1:1, with referee Anthony Taylor ignoring Abdukodir Khusanov's foul against Kai Havertz.

“I must say that, in my opinion, today there was a clear red card. I marveled at this episode 10 times. If you've ever played football, you know what it's like. When following the path of the ball, there is no goalkeeper. “It didn’t happen by chance, we were definitely given a red card,” Mikel told reporters.

Arteta emphasizes that such decisions in key moments of the season mean a share in the title, and these episodes are not interpreted to the benefit of the Londoners.

" We have a game against Manchester City, if Kai Gavertz goes against himself, and Khusanov fouls him for a 1:1 tie - this is the moment if the title is won. “This red card is irreproachable,” said the Spanish faghivets.

The coach categorically rejected the idea that he was simply kidding the culprits after failures:.

" I'm the first one to accept responsibility. I'm not talking about it, if we lost. I'm timid now, if we've won. Today's red card.

This is a red card in Manchester, and the world will be different. Axis and everything. I hope it will change"

In addition to the Sudanese scandals, the match brought personnel problems to Arsenal. The offense of the key attacks - Eberechi Eze and Kai Gaverts - bouli zmusheni left the field before the line through poshkodzhenya. The Gunners have an important first Champions League puffinal match against Atletico Madrid, which will take place on Wednesday.
