I no longer understand VAR! - Arteta blows hot after Nketiah red card

Share This



Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta has admitted he is unsure of the rules regarding VAR after Eddie Nketiah was sent off during the 1-1 draw against Leicester on Tuesday.



Nketiah was shown a red card while the hosts were leading 1-0 and just four minutes after he came off the bench.

Referee Chris Kavanagh consulted VAR before dismissing the forward for a rough challenge on James Justin with just 15 minutes left in the Premier League encounter and the Foxes came back to rescue a point through a late Jamie Vardy goal.


"I don't understand the rules. I never see a referee check any of the images. But I can do nothing now, it is the rules," he told Sky Sports.

"We lost two points, we lost Eddie and we will see now for how many games. But we go to Spurs now and try to win three points."

He added: "I am extremely proud of our team, the way we played against this kind of opposition. We should have been three or four-nil up. With the red card you have to know he is a young kid. Leicester should play with 10 men after 42 minutes. For a challenge between the 40th and 45th minute.


"They played tremendously well. The recovery time is difficult but you can see the effort the players are putting in. I am extremely proud of the players. We have to learn as well. When you have this kind of opposition and you are on top you have to kill them when you can."
