SHOCKING: Liverpool Icon Slams Arteta's 'Embarrassing' Outburst

Former Liverpool legend Michael Owen has expressed his disapproval of Mikel Arteta's recent outburst following a contentious goal in the Newcastle match.

Arteta, in response to the incident, characterized it as "embarrassing."

In support of their manager, Arsenal promptly issued a statement and called on the Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) to address officiating standards.

In reaction to Arteta's outburst, Michael Owen took to Twitter to critique the former Arsenal midfielder. Owen remarked, "The @NUFC v @Arsenal game yesterday was a thrilling spectacle, with two top teams locked in fierce competition. The only aspects that could be labeled 'embarrassing' and 'disgraceful,' in his words, were Arteta's actions. Such behavior, which unfortunately is not uncommon, harms the game more than any erroneous decision. It's regrettable for a club of Arsenal's stature to release a statement complaining about officiating standards; it lacks class."

Arsenal, presently occupying the 4th position in the league, will aim to return to their winning form as they face Sevilla in the upcoming Champions League encounter.
