'Not acceptable at this level' - Arteta bemused by penalty award as Arsenal maintain perfect start against Sunderland

Look, the first question that we have to discuss is, and this is not acceptable at this level, because it was a beautiful game of football with two teams, with an atmosphere in this stadium, it was unbelievable. With Sunderland, they are so well organised, they are so good in so many phases, they have great players, they create a lot of issues. We have to go with all of that. It was a lot in a really difficult week after Chelsea and Napoli. And on top of that, we have to go through what we've done today that, in my opinion, is not acceptable. And I watched it 20 times and I cannot find a way to understand how you even think to give a penalty in that situation or the way the VAR has to intervene. So I don't know what to think, really. I'm sad that we have to discuss in such a beautiful game something at this level that has the gravity of that, because that changes the course of the season and it can cost you the Championship. And at this level, with all the work that we put in, this cannot happen. When you see it, that is a judo roll. We don't do nothing. It's a judo roll and it brings the player on the floor. So how can this be a penalty? I don't know. I cannot find an explanation, honestly. That's why I'm going to try to find an explanation now. No, but I have to be here in front of you guys and talk about it. I don't want to talk about it. I want to talk about the game and how good we were, how good Sunderland was, and the level of the league and how beautiful this is. We should never be talking about this, or the safety of David, which was incredible. We should not even be talking about that. Yeah, but there is an element of luck as well, because they are so good at doing that. They throw in numbers, they know exactly how to do it, the timing is so good, the type of players that they do. But not only that, when you give them a space to play as well, they play. They are a really, really good side. And in any other moment, we could have conceded a goal in a different way, and that's part of the game as well. Mikel, can you talk us through how good Bruno Camara's goal was? This one, I watched it 20 times. It was a penalty 10, that one 20. Unbelievable. But again, the personality that he has. He comes in and this is a special game for him as well, and what it means for him. How he grabs the game, the decisions that he's made, and the two actions. The goal is incredible, and the assist as well to Bukayo to pull him through in front of goal, it's unbelievable as well. So, really impressed with him.
