Arsenal Football Club has issued a statement on its official website, expressing full support for coach Arteta's post-match comments following the unacceptable number of referee and VAR errors on the evening of November 4th.
The statement is as follows:
"After the unacceptable number of referee and VAR errors on the evening of November 4th, Arsenal Football Club will wholeheartedly support coach Arteta's post-match comments.
We want to thank our players and the Arsenal fans who attended the match at St. James' Park, appreciating the tremendous effort and performance they put forth.
The Premier League is the best league in the world, with the finest players, coaches, and fans, all of whom deserve better. The Referees' Committee urgently needs to address the standard of refereeing and focus on taking action; only through action can we move forward from retrospective analysis, attempts to explain, and apologies.
We support the efforts underway by Chief Howard Webb of the Referees' Committee and welcome collective efforts to achieve the world-class refereeing standards demanded by our league." |
