Mikel Arteta expressed his clear dissatisfaction when evaluating Newcastle's winning goal against Arsenal.

In the match at St. James' Park, the Magpies secured a 1-0 victory, with Anthony Gordon scoring in the 64th minute. However, the goal was surrounded by controversy.

VAR spent four minutes reviewing various aspects of the goal, including whether Joe Willock had carried the ball out of play, a potential foul committed by Joelinton on Gabriel Magalhaes, and whether Gordon was in an offside position.

Ultimately, the officials concluded that there was insufficient evidence to disallow the goal, leading to an impassioned outburst from Arteta.

After the game, the Arsenal boss told the BBC: "I have praised my players for the way they played and competed in this stadium against this team. The result should not be what it is — there are many reasons for that.

"If there was a team looking to win the game today it was Arsenal. Embarrassing what happened, how this goal stands in the Premier League, this league we say is the best in the world.

"I've been 20 years in this country and now I feel ashamed. It's a disgrace and there's too much at stake here. We are trying to do incredible things and be at the highest level each week.

"When we're not good enough I hold my hands up and take responsibility.

"The outcome is nowhere near the level this league needs to have and the way this league is getting competed in. It's not good enough. I feel embarrassed to be part of this."

Following the match, Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya, who was unable to clear Willock's initial cross towards Gordon, also commented on the matter.

He said: "We are all frustrated. My point of view is I saw the ball going out of play. I think it is a foul on Gabriel, he [Joelinton] pushes him on the back and the decision was it wasn't a foul.

"I don't think it was supposed to go that way. And in my opinion it was offside. We are very, very disappointed."
