Arsenal lost their first game of the Premier League season in controversial style after Newcastle United's winner came under the scrutiny of VAR.
Eddie Howe's side emerged victorious with a 1-0 win against Arteta's side - but it came after a huge moment that was decided by VAR.Anthony Gordon bundled in what proved to be Newcastle's winner, but it had to be checked for three different aspects by VAR before it was confirmed as a goal.After that was cleared, officials looked into an offside against Gordon before referee Stuart Atwell was eventually given the green light to award the goal.
"Again, I feel embarrassed having more than 20 years in this country, and this is nowhere near the level to describe this as the best league in the world. I am sorry.
