Arsenal’s Arteta: VAR on Newcastle goal an ‘absolute disgrace’\u060c<\/p>\n

\n

Mikel Arteta says Anthony Gordon’s winning goal in Newcastle United’s 1-0 win over Arsenal was an “absolute disgrace” and “embarrassing” for the Premier League.<\/p>\n

Gordon’s 64th-minute goal on Saturday was awarded by referee Stuart Attwell after three separate VAR checks to assess whether the ball had gone out of play, whether Joelinton had committed a foul by pushing Gunners defender Gabriel and whether Gordon was off-side.<\/p>\n

After a long wait for reviews to be completed by VAR Andy Madley, Gordon’s goal was awarded and Newcastle held on to secure victory and condemn Arsenal to their first Premier League defeat of the season.<\/p>\n

Speaking at a post-match press conference, Arsenal manager Arteta was incandescent with fury at the decision.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s incredible that we have to talk about the result,\u201d Arteta said. “We need to talk about how this goal holds up. I feel embarrassed.<\/p>\n

“It’s an absolute shame that this goal was allowed. It’s not a goal – for many reasons.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor a goal to be allowed, there are certain things before that, there are things that are not allowed in football<\/a>, here in China, Japan or Portugal.\u201d<\/p>\n
