Ugly! Newcastle won the controversial ball + scissors elbow hit all escaped, and the Arsenal coach sprayed angrily: shame
In a key match in the 11th round of the English Premier League that ended in the early morning of November 5, Beijing time, Arsenal lost 0-1 away to Newcastle and suffered its first defeat in the league. There were many controversial scenes and penalties in this game, which also caused widespread doubts about the law enforcement level of the referee on duty, Atwell.
In the first minute of stoppage time of the half, Newcastle midfielder Guimaraes elbowed Jorginho's head, such an obvious red card action, but Atwell did not say anything.
In the third minute of stoppage time, it was Guimaraes who smothered Havertz with the ball, and Rice, who was dissatisfied with his teammates being bullied, stepped forward angrily to theorize, and the two sides also clashed fiercely.
In the second half, in the 57th minute, Newcastle striker Wilson scrambled and pushed down Arsenal central defender Gabriel, but the referee still ignored it.
The most controversial was Newcastle's goal in the 64th minute. At that time, Anthony Gordon volleyed the goal, and Gordon was suspected of being out of bounds, handball, and foul before shooting, but Atwell determined that the goal was valid after being confirmed by VAR. It was with this controversial goal that Newcastle beat Arsenal 1-0.
In the 88th minute, Guimarães pushed down his opponent, and he was lucky to receive the only yellow card after continuous fouls in this game.
In the first minute of stoppage time, Newcastle defender Livramento tackled Martinelli with scissors and feet, and the referee only showed him a yellow card.
After the game, the furious Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta angrily rebuked the referee on duty at the press conference, saying bluntly that the controversial goal and a series of outrageous decisions by the referee were simply disgraceful: "I feel embarrassed, but I have to stand here now to defend the club and ask for help, because this goal and a series of other controversial decisions are an absolute disgrace!" ”
Ta Shuai also bluntly said that even in other leagues such as the Chinese Super League, this situation will not occur: "I feel very embarrassed, I have been in this country for more than 20 years, which is far from being the best league level in the world. In football, whether in China, Japan, Spain, Italy or Portugal, it is not allowed. That's what happened. ”
After the loss, Arsenal temporarily fell to third in the standings, and if Tottenham beat Chelsea in this round, the gap between Arsenal and the top of the table will widen to 5 points, and the title race is undoubtedly at a disadvantage.
