Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta “fuming” about overturned penalty decision in Atletico Madrid clash (Video)

Arsenal and Atletico Madrid played a 1-1 draw in the first leg of their clash in the Champions League semi-finals on Wednesday.

Both teams scored from the spot, but Arsenal had another penalty initially awarded by the on-field referee, who then changed his decision after the VAR instructed him to take another look.

Gunners boss Mikel Arteta was obviously furious about it.

“What I’m incredibly fuming with is how the hell the penalty gets overturned in the manner it happened”
