Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is furious about the penalty awarded in the match against Sunderland.
The Gunners secured a 2-0 away victory at the Stadium of Light.
Midway through the second half, the referee penalised Ezri Konsa for a challenge on Daniel Ballard. Arteta believes this decision was completely wrong.
After the game, he shared his feelings with TNT Sports.
I am so upset. It’s unacceptable. This is not a penalty by any means, in any game, under any context, in any league.
It’s a huge victory, but it could have been very different. I’m so upset, it’s unacceptable. This can change the course of the season, of the league, and that’s not on.
At this level, it cannot be a penalty. I'm happy in one sense and so worried in another.
The situation was salvaged by goalkeeper David Raya, who saved Enzo Le Fee’s penalty.
Just minutes later, Bruno Guimaraes netted his first goal for Arsenal.
