Mikel Arteta has been charged by the FA for his comments after the Premier League defeat to Newcastle with Anthony Gordon’s winning goal engulfed in VAR controversy.
A statement from an FA spokesperson on X (formerly Twitter) read: “Mikel Arteta has been charged with a breach of FA Rule E3.1 following comments that he made in interviews after Arsenal’s Premier League game against Newcastle United on Saturday 4 November.
“It’s alleged that his comments constitute misconduct as they are insulting towards match officials and/or detrimental to the game being and/or bring the game into disrepute. Mikel Arteta has until Tuesday 21 November to provide a response to this charge.”
The charge is in relation to the comments made by Arteta after the game where he was left seething. “We have to talk about the result because you have to talk about how the hell this goal stand ups and it’s incredible,” he said.
“I feel embarrassed but I have to be the one now coming here to try to defend the club and please ask for help, because it’s an absolute disgrace that this goal is allowed; it’s an absolute disgrace. Because it’s not a goal for many reasons; it’s not a goal, for more than one reason at least. It’s not a goal and it’s too much at stake here. We put in so much effort, it’s so difficult to compete at this level, and it’s an absolute disgrace.
“Again, I feel embarrassed having more than 20 years in this country, and this is nowhere near the level to describe this as the best league in the world. I am sorry.” Earlier this week, the VAR audio from the goal was released to the public which showed the checks completed before giving the goal with PGMOL chief Howard Webb then delivering his verdict on the decisions made.
