Mikel Arteta and Arsenal await answers — and potentially an apology — following the officiating controversy surrounding the Gunners' victory at Sunderland.
In today's episode of The Arsenal News Show, Arsenal reporter Tom Canton takes a closer look at another weekend where Premier League refereeing decisions have dominated the conversation.
Arsenal came away from the Stadium of Light with a 2-0 victory, but the performance of the officials left plenty of questions. We examine the major incidents, what the laws say and whether Arteta is right to expect clarity over the decisions that went against his side.
Meanwhile, Manchester City beat Manchester United 1-0 and once again refereeing decisions are under the microscope. We discuss the controversial moments, whether City benefited and why consistency remains such a major issue for Premier League officials.
With Arsenal and City competing at the top, every decision and every point could matter — making the standard and consistency of officiating increasingly important.
