Mikel Arteta reacts to Gabriel Martinelli's red card against Wolves

Arsenal celebrated a 1-0 win over Wolves on Thursday. Gabriel Magalhaes scored the only goal of the game to hand Gunners three points. Later in the game, Gabriel Martinelli was sent off after receiving two yellow cards. After the game head coach Mikel Arteta has reacted to the Brazillian's red card. He said:

"Very worrying. To be fair, it’s the first time I’ve seen a red card like this in 18 years that I’ve been in this league. I think you have to be pretty willing to give a red card in that situation.   "But still it happened. We know that playing with 10 men in this league you’re not gonna get points, enough points, the points that we want and we have to stop it. But to be fair it’s difficult to find more arguments and more ways to transmit that to the players.   "Everybody says it’s the most disciplined group they’ve seen in the last 15 years, but still we are getting red card for other things.   "Gabi has been extremely good the last few months. I think the level that he’s playing at, the way he’s been every game, the way he’s been evolving. It’s a real shame because he’s gonna miss the game now because we need him and because we are really, really short.   "f you ask me if I’m happy with the decisions we’ve had this season, I’m not at all. But that’s a conversation I will have privately with the officials. We need explanations, we need explanations with what happened in VAR and I need explanations with what happened today."
