Arteta, talking to TNT Sports after the game, said: “I am very proud of my players, the level of domination we had. We were very harshly done by in the sense that it is obvious. Both penalties.

“If you are going to give a penalty, the other one has to be because he punches him in the head.

“There is no deflection, nothing you can do in the box, so can he get away from it. If he is going to give that the other has to be 100% a penalty.

“We should have scored a couple at l;east but the way the team played, that was us at least. Every decision in the box makes a difference.
