The Arsenal manager was left fuming after a decision went against his side against Newcastle.
Mikel Arteta launched a scathing rant at referees and VAR after Newcastle were awarded a controversial winner against Arsenal.
The Spaniard burst with rage in his post-match press conference, filleting VAR and the PGMOL for what he described as a 'disgrace' and reckons his two decades in the country tell him there's no chance the Premier League can consider itself the best league in the world. He told Sky Sports: "Praising my players for the way we played, we didn't deserve to lose the match playing in their ground and we lose because of clear and obvious decisions.
"It is how I feel. The amount of messages we've sent saying this cannot continue. I'm sorry, embarrassing. I'm defending my players when I have to, I defend my job when it is not good enough. I have to be here, to say it now, it is not acceptable, too much at stake."
