Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta fumes over controversial Newcastle goal in St James’ Park defeat (Video)

Arsenal were beaten 1-0 by Newcastle at St James’ Park on Saturday, courtesy of a goal by Anthony Gordon in the 64th minute.

The goal was highly controversial, with no less than three potential reasons to have it ruled out by the VAR. The ball looked to have gone out of play in the buildup, there was a case for calling a foul by Joelinton on Gabriel Magalhaes, and there was also the possibility of Gordon being offside.

However, VAR Andy Madley and his assistant Stuart Burt ruled no rules were broken, and the goal was allowed to stand. Obviously, Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta was left fuming by the decision, and the Premier League continues to embarrass itself in the eyes of the rest of the football world with moments like this.
