Breaking news: Shocking as Mikel Arteta dropped speeches of being haunt after arsenal vs newcastle

in the aftermath of Arsenal’s loss to Newcastle United, Mikel Arteta’s reaction to Anthony Gordon’s allowed goal has stirred controversy. Arteta’s impassioned rant about Premier League officials and the VAR decision contradicted his earlier comments on the matter, creating an unfavorable perception.

The contentious goal’s review process included checks for the ball going out of play by Joe Willock, a possible foul by Joelinton in the build-up, and offside by Gordon. After an extensive review, the goal was deemed valid, leading to Newcastle’s crucial victory over Arsenal.

Arteta’s post-match interview with Sky Sports saw him vent his frustration, labeling the decision to award Gordon’s goal as an “absolute disgrace.” He also criticized the standard of referees in the Premier League, expressing his embarrassment at the situation.

His strong comments have now come under scrutiny, particularly as earlier remarks from the beginning of October resurfaced. In those comments, Arteta defended VAR and the officials following Liverpool’s match against Tottenham Hotspur, where Liverpool felt they were unfairly treated.

Arteta’s previous stance was that officials make mistakes, and it’s important to support them and acknowledge that errors occur. However, his reaction to the Arsenal vs. Newcastle incident suggests a change of heart, as he now seems less inclined to support officials after a perceived mistake against his team.

The contrasting positions on VAR and officials have led to criticism and raised questions about Arteta’s consistency in his statements and opinions on the matter.
