Source: Arsenal to contact Pro Ref over S'land pen

Arsenal defeated Sunderland 2-0 on Saturday, but manager Mikel Arteta was angered by referee John Brooks' decision to award Sunderland a penalty after Ezri Konsa was judged to have fouled Dan Ballard. David Raya saved Enzo Le Fee's resulting spot-kick, and VAR confirmed the original decision, with the Premier League Match Centre describing it as a 'holding offence.' Arsenal are set to contact Pro Ref, the officiating body for English football, seeking an explanation for the penalty call and why VAR upheld it.
