Mikel Arteta suggested the Carabao Cup ball contributed to Arsenal's loss against Newcastle in the semi-final first leg.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta claimed that the Carabao Cup match ball impacted his team's performance in their 2-0 semi-final first leg loss against Newcastle . Newcastle secured a dominant victory at the Emirates Stadium, with Alexander Isak scoring his 10th goal in nine appearances and Anthony Gordon adding another in the second half. Despite registering 23 shots, Arsenal managed only three on target, missing several golden opportunities to equalize.
Arteta pointed out the difference between the Puma Carabao Cup ball and the Nike Premier League ball, stating that it 'flies a lot' and has a 'very different grip.' The Carabao Cup's official Twitter account responded with a meme mocking Arteta's comments. However, Arteta remains optimistic about turning the tie around in the second leg at St. James' Park on February 5th
