Arsenal: Mikel Arteta slams 'completely unacceptable' decision to overturn penalty awarded to Eberechi Eze in Champions League semi-final at Atletico Madrid

Mikel Arteta called the decision to overturn a penalty awarded to Eberechi Eze as "completely unacceptable" after his Arsenal side were pegged back to draw 1-1 in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final with Atletico Madrid.

Substitute Eze went to ground in the box when he was challenged by David Hancko on 78 minutes. There was foot-on-foot contact and the Gunners looked set to have the opportunity to retake the lead. But VAR stepped in and advised referee Danny Makkelie to go to the monitor.

After watching multiple replays, Makkelie decided to rule out the penalty-kick he had awarded and the game finished level, ahead of the second leg at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday.
