Mikel Arteta said Anthony Gordon's winning goal in Newcastle United's 1-0 win against Arsenal was an "absolute disgrace" and "embarrassing" for the Premier League.
Gordon's 64th minute goal was awarded by referee Stuart Attwell after three separate VAR checks to assess whether the ball had gone out of play, if Joelinton had committed a foul with a push on Gunners defender Gabriel and whether Gordon was offside.

But after a lengthy wait for the reviews to be completed by VAR Andy Madley, Gordon's goal was given and Newcastle held on to secure the victory and consign Arsenal to their first Premier League defeat of the season.
