Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta was left seething with rage after a contentious penalty decision went against his side in their recent match against Inter Milan.
Inter Milan were awarded a spot-kick in a crucial juncture of the game, which ultimately proved to be the match-winner, leaving Arteta to express his outrage over the soft penalty call.
'I think it's a very soft penalty. I don't think it's a penalty at all ' Arteta said in a post-match interview, his frustration evident in his words and demeanor.
A replay of the incident showed that there was minimal contact between the Inter Milan player and the Arsenal defender, and many fans and pundits agree with Arteta's assessment that the penalty was indeed a harsh one.
However, what added salt to the wounds for Arteta and Arsenal was that they felt they should have had a penalty of their own in the game, but were denied by the referee.
'We had a very clear penalty that wasn't given, and at the end, they have a very soft one that was given to them. It's frustrating because we lost the game in a way that's not fair.' Arteta lamented.
The loss was a bitter pill to swallow for Arsenal, who had fought hard to get back into the game after going down to a goal early on.
Despite their best efforts, however, they were unable to find the equalizing goal, and the penalty awarded to Inter Milan sealed their fate.
The controversy surrounding the penalty call has sparked a lot of debate, with many calling for the introduction of more advanced technology to help referees make accurate decisions.
For Arsenal, the focus now shifts to their next game, where they will be looking to bounce back from this disappointing loss and get their season back on track.
