Arsenal suffered a 1-0 defeat to Newcastle in their last Premier League match, after Anthony Gordon scored a hugely controversial goal – which was vigorously checked by VAR.
The Spanish manager had a lot to say in his post-match press conference, claiming he was ’embarrassed’ by the standing of officiating in the Premier League.
