Newcastle United handed Arsenal their first Premier League defeat of the season with a 1-0 win on Saturday, after a controversial second-half goal by Anthony Gordon.
After a long VAR review, the visiting manager, Mikel Arteta, was left livid.
Gordon scored in the 64th minute, firing past goalkeeper David Raya from close range after a goalmouth scramble.
There was a VAR break of four minutes six seconds to check if the ball went out of bounds, whether there was a foul in the build-up and for offside before the home fans could celebrate.
“It’s embarrassing what happened, how this goal stands,” Arteta told reporters. “In the Premier League – this league that we say is the best in the world. I’ve been 20 years in this country and now I feel ashamed. It’s a disgrace.”
Newcastle, who are unbeaten in their last seven league outings, climbed to sixth on 20 points after 11 games. Arsenal, who failed to score for the first time in all competitions this term, are third with 24, three behind leaders Manchester City.
