Antonio Conte fires back at Mikel Arteta for comments after Tottenham 3-0 Arsenal

Mikel Arteta was furious with the officials after Arsenal’s heavy defeat to Tottenham Hotspur in their crucial Premier League clash on Thursday evening.

Tottenham were given a 22nd minute penalty and, 11 minutes later, Arsenal were reduced to 10 men when Rob Holding was sent off.

Arteta couldn’t hide his emotions in his post-match interview.

“If I say what I think I am suspended for six months,” Arteta told Sky Sports. “I don’t know how to lie so I prefer not to say what I think. I cannot say what I think.

“I want the referees to come in front of the camera and explain his decisions. It’s a shame because such a beautiful game was destroyed today.”
