Arsenal 'to present list of refereeing decisions that have gone against them'

The action follows the anger expressed by the North London club over the controversial one-goal defeat suffered against Newcastle United on Saturday.

Mikel Arteta's team conceded a narrow defeat last weekend in which Bruno Guimaraes avoided a potential first-half red card, while the Magpies' winning goal from Anthony Gordon was allowed to stand despite three checks around the ball going out of play, a potential foul and an offside call.

According to a report from the Daily Mail, Arsenal have now compiled a detailed list of incidents that they intend to submit to the league's authorities.

Following the match against Newcastle, Arteta delivered a scathing critique of the refereeing standards and expressed frustration at how the use of technology is falling short in the world's premier domestic league.

The report adds that in the upcoming meeting, aside from highlighting Gordon's goal, the club plans to reference instances from the previous season to underscore their ongoing frustration.

The list of grievances is believed to extend back to September 2022, when Gabriel Martinelli's goal against Manchester United was disallowed following the judgement that Martin Odegaard had fouled Christian Eriksen.

While the club have called for PGMOL to urgently address the standards of officiating, the refereeing body emphasised that measures are already being implemented to enhance the accuracy of decisions under the leadership of Howard Webb.
