After a discussion with PGMOL and the Select Group review meeting, they support the view of PGMOL on addressing these problems for improving performances going forward.

Mikel Arteta, the Arsenal boss expressed his frustration with the officiating, admitting that he will be happy unless the Gunners were getting two additional points to the league tally. Arteta stated that he ended the game after analyzing all evidence that they have had with the images with big disappointment and angle since that was not human error, not understanding and conceiving their job and that is not acceptable.

It costs Arsenal 2 points that will not be restored. They are going to have to find those 2 points somewhere in the league. At the same time, they appreciate the apology and their explanation. They have got a lot of sympathy from their colleagues in the industry who think that they cannot play the game with integrity as they do.
