Arteta Slams Sunderland Penalty Decision After Arsenal’s 2-0 Win

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta criticised the penalty awarded to Sunderland during his side’s 2-0 Premier League win at the Stadium of Light. With the match still goalless early in the second half, Sunderland were awarded a spot-kick after a set-piece incident involving Ezri Konsa and Dan Ballard. VAR reviewed and upheld the decision. Arteta received a yellow card for protesting on the touchline. He later said the decision was “unacceptable” and argued that VAR should do more to protect the game. David Raya saved the penalty as Arsenal preserved their perfect start to the season and moved clear at the top of the table.
