Mikel Arteta’s attitude after Arsenal’s defeat at Newcastle is outrageous according to Michael Owen.
On Saturday, Newcastle won (1-0) against Arsenal, on the eleventh day of the Premier League. After this defeat, the first of the season for the Gunners in the league, Mikel Arteta was furious because of a controversial goal from Anthony Gordon. The behavior of the Spanish technician was not to the liking of Michael Owen.
“The Newcastle United v Arsenal game yesterday was great to watch. Two top teams battling it out. The only thing (in his words) “embarrassing” and “shameful” was Arteta’s behavior. A common occurrence that damages the game more than any bad decision. For his club to now issue a statement complaining about the standard of refereeing is lamentable and unfortunately, for a team of Arsenal’s standard, totally classless.”wrote the 2001 Ballon d’or on his Twitter account.

“It’s shameful what happened, the way the goal was scored, in the Premier League – the championship that is touted as the best in the world, Arteta was indignant after the meeting. I have been in this country for twenty years and now I am ashamed (…) The result is far from being up to the level that this league should have and the way in which it is played. I’m embarrassed to have been a part of this. » In its press release, Arsenal clearly supported its coach.
