Man United legend Rio Ferdinand makes fun of Arsenal as Mikel Arteta is furious over Brighton decision

Rio Ferdinand was present to troll Arsenal supporters who were incensed by their team’s draw with Brighton.

In the first half, the Gunners earned a well-deserved lead when Kai Havertz lifted the ball over the onrushing custodian following some exceptional work from Bukayo Saka.

However, the game was abruptly altered when Declan Rice was issued a red card four minutes into the second half. The Premier League affirmed that the midfielder of the Gunners was “delaying the restart” after committing a foul on Joel Veltman, receiving his second booking of the match.

After the contest, both Mikel Arteta and Bukayo Saka identified inconsistencies in referee Chris Kavanagh’s performance. Earlier in the match, Brighton striker Joao Pedro appeared to have committed the same offence by kicking the ball down the touchline after failing to maintain it in play.

During that incident, Arteta was observed waving his arms in the air as he approached the pitch, imploring with the referee.

Ferdinand, in the midst of the post-match commotion, made a playful comment: “What is Arteta doing outside his technical area?” after sharing the footage, which inevitably drew the ire of the enraged Gunners.

“You are compensated to maintain impartiality, yet you are diverting attention from the inconsistency that undermines the game.” A admirer who was displeased composed a message. ‘The team it consistently benefits is, by the way, dominating your own city. Be ashamed.

Ferdinand, the former Manchester United player, has verified that he was indeed on a fishing expedition, in the event that there was any misunderstanding regarding his tweet.

Arteta, on the other hand, was not delighted by the decision that altered the game. ‘I was astounded,’ the individual declared. ‘I am astounded by the inconsistency of decisions.

‘In the initial half, there are two incidents, but no action occurs. Subsequently, the ball strikes Declan on the back of his leg in a non-critical area. He rotates around, fails to perceive the approaching player, and touches the ball.

‘The referee is permitted to make that decision by law; however, he is obligated to make the subsequent judgement, which is a red card, resulting in a 10 vs 10 game. This is the source of my amazement. It is remarkable at this level.

When queried about Rice’s departure, Saka specifically referenced the Pedro incident.

Saka stated, “We simply desire some consistency.”

“Joao” After kicking the ball halfway across the field in the first half, Pedro received no reward. The slightest contact caused Dec to be dispatched.0
