Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta, has reacted to West Ham United’s disallowed goal against his team during both sides’ Premier League tie on Sunday.
Arteta hailed the match referee, Chris Kavanagh and his team, insisting that they were very brave to cancel Callum Wilson’s last-gasp goal.
Speaking at his post-match interview after the game, Arteta said, “Today I’ve to congratulate them [the officials]. You need a lot of courage and bravery to stand out and give the opportunity to the referee to have a look at the action.
“When you see the picture, there is no question that it is a clear foul. They were very brave.
“The action deserved that. In my opinion, it is very clear. They’re the rules, and we ask for consistency.”
