‘Hard to accept’: Arteta hits out at penalty decision during Inter defeat
Arsenal manager angry at handball against Mikel Merino‘I don’t understand – it’s a deflection. There is no danger’
Mikel Arteta was left fuming after a controversial penalty for Inter ended Arsenal’s unbeaten record in the Champions League.
The Arsenal manager felt that his side should also have been awarded a spot kick after Mikel Merino was “punched in the head” by Inter goalkeeper Yann Sommer just before the Spain midfielder was penalised for a handball inside his own area.
