Former Arsenal vice-chairman David Dein has accused Mikel Arteta of damaging the Gunners’ image and has insisted he would have disciplined the manager after his furious VAR rant.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Arteta launched into a stinging tirade after his side’s 1-0 loss to Newcastle, and fumed at VAR’s dealing with Anthony Gordon’s winning goal.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Gunners’ boss labelled VAR ’embarrassing’ and an ‘absolute disgrace’ after they seemingly missed three potential issues during the build up to the goal.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Arsenal reacted by releasing a statement in support of their Spanish manager, but Dein has revealed he would have done things differently.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Dein believed Arteta should have have accepted the loss and said the reaction was ‘unecessary.’<\/p>\n

Speaking on Talksport Dein said:\u00a0‘In 101 minutes of football we only had one shot at goal, so you can’t really say that the team deserved to win. It is what it is,<\/p>\n
‘There is a process in place for how they deal with these things and I just think it was a little bit unnecessary. I don’t think it did the image of the club any good.’<\/p>\n
When asked about if this would have occured during his time at the club, between\u00a01983 and 2007, Dein said:\u00a0‘It wouldn’t have happened.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘But we’re in an emotional game and these things do happen, I think it’s unfortunate, and you live and learn.’<\/p>\n
The 80-year-old also revealed he would have ‘probably’ disciplined Arteta but also said he would not have wanted to ‘undermine the manager either.’\u00a0<\/p>\n
He said: ‘The manager in the heat of the moment, that’s what he believed in. I was at Newcastle that game, he felt aggrieved that he felt the decisions go against him.’\u00a0<\/p>\n
