Analysis Summary
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said Newcastle's Nick Pope should have been sent off for a challenge on Viktor Gyokeres during Arsenal's win, arguing it was a clear red card offense. Arteta also cited a similar incident involving Manchester City defender Khusanov from their previous match where he believed a red card was warranted. Match officials and some analysts including Mark Clattenburg disagreed with Arteta's assessment, making this a contested refereeing decision rather than a factual error.
