Mikel Arteta expressed his disappointment over what he deemed a harsh penalty call against Arsenal, stating, 'I've never seen that in my life - and Saliba touches the ball. [It wasn't one] for me, no.' He emphasized that while the penalty decision was disappointing, his team didn’t provide enough attacking quality and consistency throughout the match, underscoring the need for improvement ahead of upcoming challenges.
Despite the penalty controversy, Arteta acknowledged his team's shortcomings, saying, 'I understand how much we want to [win], but in terms of the quality and the consistency and doing the simple things right against a competitive team, we didn't do enough today.' He cautioned about the importance of improving for their next fixtures against Newcastle, Manchester United, and Tottenham.
