Arsenal dropped two crucial points against an in-form Newcastle side in front of a packed Emirates, cutting their lead at the top of the Premier League standings to eight points. Despite registering 17 shots and dominating 67% of possession, the Gunners failed to maintain their perfect home record against an inspired Magpies side.
During the recent contest, referee Andrew Madley handed out a total of nine yellow cards as the north Londoners had two penalty claims denied. Near the end of the match, Arteta had to be separated by his coaching staff and officials as he got into an argument with Eddie Howe.

Taking to Twitter, he posted a photo of Arteta with a caption:
