Not even Mikel Arteta is safe from the FA after a possible sanction after inappropriate comments from the refereeing in England. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta redoubled his criticism of match officials and on Tuesday acknowledged that he is supported by “evidence” and that it is his “duty” to defend the club amid accusations of legitimate abuse by referees. Arteta was upset by the standard of refereeing in the Premier League in Arsenal's 1-0 defeat against Newcastle
FA statement: “Mikel Arteta has been charged with a breach of FA Rule E3.1.” “It happens following comments that he made in media interviews after Arsenal’s Premier League game against Newcastle United on Saturday 4 November.” After the match Arteta said that he felt “embarrassed” and that the decisions made were a “disgrace.”
The 'Gunner' coach said that the refereeing of that match, in which the score was reviewed three times by the VAR and which led to Arsenal's defeat, was "shameful" and a "disgrace", despite the fact that more The Premier League referee association later ratified the decision made that day. Arsenal wants to emulate what they achieved in the previous season when they came close to winning a Premier League title, but ended up falling at the hands of Manchester City. Now, it seems that the fight for the title will be even more complicated, with Tottenham and Liverpool FC at a high level.
Arsenal published a statement condemning the referees' errors and emphasizing their "unconditional" support for Arteta, who assured that his task is to defend the interests of his club. Now, the Spaniard could face a sanction from the FA for his comments from that match.
