Arteta left ‘incredibly fuming’ after VAR denies Arsenal penalty against Atlético

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta expressed anger after VAR overturned a penalty decision in the 78th minute of their Champions League semi-final first leg against Atlético Madrid, which ended 1-1 with both sides having scored from the spot. Dutch referee Danny Makkelie had initially awarded a penalty after Atlético defender David Hancko tackled substitute Eberechi Eze, but the decision was reversed on review. Arteta stated 'at this level, I'm sorry but this cannot happen' in response to the controversial call.
