Arsenal boss, Mikel Arteta says he was ‘angry’ after midfielfer,
Granit Xhaka was sent off in Arsenal’s 5-0 defeat to Manchester City.
The Spaniard suggested that his team suffered a similar
challenges which went unpunished in their two opening matches of the season.
Arteta’s side continued their poor start to the new campaign
with their 5-0 crushing in the hands of Pep Guardiola’s rampant City team on
Saturday.
Xhaka was shown a straight red card for a reckless
two-footed tackle on Joao Cancelo in the 35th minute before Gabriel Jesus and
Rodri netted either side of half-time to extend the host’s lead.
Arsenal are now lying bottom of the table and are yet to
pick up a single point from three games.
Arteta could not hide his frustration when asked about the
incident during his post-match.
“I’m angry because of the consequences that it had to the
team,” the Spaniard told BT Sport.
“I must say, the line that we are being judged with is
really, really thin because we had actions like that already in the two Premier
League games and nothing happened.
“I’m very disappointed with the second goal, with the way
they allowed that goal.
“It’s really painful. A lot of incidents happened in the
game to get to where we got.
“After the red card, obviously we had a mountain to climb.”
