'For me it was very clear' - Arteta frustrated with Jorginho decision during Arsenal's defeat to Chelsea

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta expressed his frustration at referee Craig Pawson’s decision not to show a second yellow card to Chelsea midfielder Jorginho during his side’s 2-1 defeat at Emirates Stadium.

Jorginho had already been booked when he tugged back Matteo Guendouzi as the Gunners midfielder looked to launch a counterattack. However, the referee opted not to show the Italy international a second yellow card.

To add insult to injury, Jorginho was the man to take advantage of an error by goalkeeper Bernd Leno to score Chelsea’s equaliser with seven minutes remaining, before Tammy Abraham’s late strike secured a dramatic comeback victory and ruin Arteta’s first home game in charge.
