EPL: FA confirms decision on Arteta’s comments after 1-0 Newcastle defeat

Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta has been cleared of a Football Association charge over his remarks after they lost 1-0 to Newcastle United last month.

Arteta was left fuming after Anthony Gordon’s 64th-minute goal was allowed to stand.

Three separate VAR checks were carried out for the ball potentially going out of play, a foul and an offside in the build-up.

“It’s a disgrace. It’s embarrassing. That’s how I feel and that’s how everybody feels in that [dressing] room,” Arteta said at the time.

The FA subsequently charged Arteta with a breach of Rule E3.1.

However, an independent commission deemed that to be “not proven” following an investigation which included Arteta attending a personal hearing.

In the written reasons for the decision, Arteta is described as an “impressive witness” who successfully argued his case based on a wider frustration with the VAR process rather than targeting a match official.
