Arteta Angry over Penalty Decision Despite Arsenal Win at Sunderland
Arteta said the penalty call could change the course of the season after Arsenal kept four clean sheets in five matches and stayed perfect.
On Saturday, Arsenal maintained their 100 per cent start to the season with a 2-0 victory over Sunderland, moving clear at the top of the Premier League.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta labelled the penalty decision 'unacceptable,' telling TNT Sport he reviewed the incident 10 times and insisted it was not a penalty in any context.
Keeper David Raya pushed Enzo Le Fee's 55th-minute spot kick against the post, and two minutes later Bruno Guimaraes scored his first goal after receiving a pass from Declan Rice.
Bukayo Saka netted his third goal of the season in stoppage time, securing the win as Arsenal kept four clean sheets in their five games this season.
Manchester City, the only other side not to have dropped Premier League points this season, can join Arsenal on 12 points if they beat Manchester United on Sunday.
