Arteta Rages at ‘Unacceptable’ Penalty Call Despite Arsenal’s 2-0 Triumph Over Sunderland
Arsenal secured a 2-0 victory over Sunderland, but manager Mikel Arteta expressed strong dissatisfaction with a penalty decision awarded to Sunderland, which David Raya saved. Arteta vehemently called the foul a ‘judo roll’ and ‘unacceptable at this level,’ fearing it could have cost his team the win.
