Arsenal Players Deserve Praise Fror Competing Vs Newcastle – Arteta

Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta has come out to say that it is embarrassing that Anthony Gordon’s controversial winner was allowed to stand at St James’ Park on Saturday. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, it was very disgraceful how the goal was allowed to stand by the referees, and he feels ashamed to see how such an error could happen in the best league in the world.

Arteta added that his players deserve a lot of praise for competing in such a difficult stadium to play in.

His words, “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.”

WOW.

Arsenal Football Club is an English professional football club based in Holloway, North London. Arsenal compete in the Premier League, the top flight of English football.

The club has won 13 league titles (including one unbeaten title), a record 14 FA Cups, two League Cups, 17 FA Community Shields, the Football League Centenary Trophy, one European Cup Winners’ Cup and one Inter-Cities Fairs Cup. In terms of trophies won, it is the third-most successful club in English football.

After conducting an overhaul in the club’s operating model to coincide with Wenger’s departure, Spaniard Unai Emery was named as the club’s new head coach on 23 May 2018. He became the club’s first ever ‘head coach’ and second manager from outside the United Kingdom.

In Emery’s first season, Arsenal finished fifth in the Premier League and as runner-up in the Europa League. On 29 November 2019, Emery was dismissed as manager and former player and assistant first team coach Freddie Ljungberg was appointed as interim head coach. On 20 December 2019, Arsenal appointed former club captain Mikel Arteta as the new head coach. Arsenal finished the league season in eighth, their lowest finish since 1994–95, but beat Chelsea 2–1 to earn a record-extending 14th FA Cup win. After the season, Arteta’s title was changed from head coach to manager.
