"I turned it 15 times and it's not a penalty!"

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has complained strongly about the penalty decision that caused the equaliser after a disappointing draw away from Everton.

Arsenal led with Leandro Trossard's first goal in the 34th minute of the first half in Everton's 31st round of the English Premier League (EPL) at Goodison Park in Liverpool, England, at 8:30 p.m. on the 5th (Korea time), but they tied the match 1-1 in the 14th minute of the second half by giving up Ndiaye's PK equalizer.

Immediately after the start of the second half, the decisive scene came out in the third minute of the second half. The penalty was declared after VAR review after Arsenal full-back Myles Lewis Skelly knocked Everton Jack Harrison over the boundary of the box. In the decision, which had to be judged whether it was in or out of the box, referee Darren relentlessly declared PK, and Ndiaye shook the net without missing the chance of this golden gold.

Arsenal, who are chasing Liverpool at the end of the season, was caught up in the decision. In an interview with BBC's Match of the Day shortly after the draw, Arteta complained that he was disappointed 100 percent. "We had very good control over the game. "I hoped to continue the advantage in the second half, but the referee declared PK," he said, adding, "I've looked back on this scene 15 times, and in my opinion, it's never a penalty."

"They (Everton) are very good at what they have to do. We gave away too many silly fouls leading to set pieces, but they didn't produce anything," he said.

The controversy over the penalty continued after the game.

Everton manager David Moyes declined to say, "I can't tell you whether it was a penalty or not because I've never looked back at the scene." The Premier League secretariat confirmed on its official SNS, "The referee's penalty declaration for Lewis-Skelly's challenge against Harrison was confirmed through VAR, and there was enough contact to give a penalty, and it was inside the penalty area."

Former Premier League striker Chris Sutton, however, admitted in a commentary on BBC Radio 5 Live that it was a "very, very generous penalty." "Coach David Moyes will see that and agree that it was a soft decision," he said.

Alan Shearer and Danny Murphy also commented on the BBC's Match of the Day, saying, "The judgment was soft." Shearer said, "The scene wasn't enough to give me a penalty. But they're not going to turn it over. It's a very harsh decision." Murphy also said, "I think Arteta is right. It's a really bad decision and it's not a penalty. They're both pulling each other." 바카라사이트

In the end, the team only scored one point in the match, which targeted three points, and this decision was a fatal blow to Arsenal's bid to win the title. Starting with the match against Fulham on Thursday, Liverpool will be able to secure an early win by themselves if they only secure 11 points from the remaining eight matches. "We have no time to spare. It is a very clear fact. We have done well enough to win the title, but we have too little time left," Arsenal manager Arteta said.
