Mikel Arteta was absolutely fuming in his post match press conference after Arsenal's defeat to Newcastle.

The Magpies stole all three points from St James' Park after Anthony Gordon smashed home the only goal in controversial circumstances.

The ball initially looked to have run out of play before Joe Willock got there, but VAR ruled that there was 'inconclusive evidence', before checking a foul on Gabriek Magalhaes.After that was cleared, officials looked into an offside against Gordon before referee Stuart Atwell was eventually given the green light to award the goal.

"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.
