"We are really disappointed with the decision that leads to the goal because I have never seen something like this in my life," Arteta told BBC Sport. "He touches the ball as well. [It is] bizarre. That means we have probably never seen it before. I haven't in my career. I asked the boys if they have, and no-one has seen this before. So it is a new one. I checked and, after three seconds, they said they already checked VAR. It seems quick."
Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler felt it was the obvious outcome to the situation. "It was a clear penalty. It is head to head, but if it is another piece of the body everybody would say it was a penalty," said the German. "Joao Pedro places the ball with his head and Saliba comes too late."
