Mikel Arteta refrained from commenting on a potentially decisive goal disallowed in Arsenal’s recent 2-2 draw with Liverpool but emphasized that the team remains focused on the Premier League title race.
The tightly contested match at the Emirates saw Arsenal take the lead twice, with goals from Bukayo Saka and Mikel Merino. However, Liverpool managed to level the score both times, thanks to Virgil van Dijk and Mo Salah.
In added time, Gabriel Jesus found the net for Arsenal, but the goal was disallowed by referee Anthony Taylor, who ruled a foul by Kai Havertz. Asked about the controversial decision in the post-match press conference, Arteta stayed measured, stating, “I prefer not to comment.”
When pressed on whether he would seek further clarification, he replied, “I’m sure I’ll get clarity or a response at some point.”
Reflecting on his team’s performance, Arteta expressed pride, saying, “Given our current challenges, I’m very proud of the squad. We were dominant in the first half, and the scoreline could have been more favorable.”
