Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta urges rival managers to unite against controversial VAR

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has called on his fellow Premier League managers to join forces in the fight against the controversial Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system. This comes after Arsenal's defeat to Newcastle United on Saturday, which saw a disputed goal awarded to the opposition after multiple VAR checks.

Newcastle's Anthony Gordon scored a goal in the 64th minute that survived three separate VAR checks. The checks were conducted to determine whether the ball had gone out of play, if there was a potential foul, and if the goal was offside.
