Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta was charged by the Football Association (FA) over explosive ‘VAR criticism’ following the Gunners’ controversial loss against Newcastle United, according to recent football updates.
Arteta was really angry after his side’s 1-0 loss to Newcastle United at the St James’ Park earlier this month. He also said that the referee’s decisions were embarrassing and an “absolute disgrace”.

“Mikel Arteta has been charged with a breach of FA Rule E3.1 following comments that he made in media interviews after Arsenal’s Premier League game against Newcastle United on Saturday, November 4,” an FA statement said on Thursday.
“It’s alleged that his comments constitute misconduct as they are insulting towards match officials and/or detrimental to the game and/or bring the game into disrepute.”

VAR checked whether the ball had gone out of play before Joe Willock’s cross, whether Joelinton had fouled Gabriel and whether Gordon had been offside.
Nevertheless, all three decisions went in Newcastle’s favour, and the Spaniard could not hide his anger after the match.
Arteta said after the game: “You have to talk about how the hell did this goal stand up? Incredible. I feel embarrassed.
“I have to now come in here and try to defend the club and please ask for help because it’s an absolute disgrace that this goal is allowed. An absolute disgrace.”
