Manager angry over Trossard red card and Doku escapeJohn Stones and Bernardo Silva take swipe at visitors
Mikel Arteta was scathing about Michael Oliver’s lack of consistency after the referee sent off Arsenal’s Leandro Trossard for a second yellow card offence of kicking the ball away despite failing to book Manchester City’s Jérémy Doku for the same in Sunday’s incident-filled 2-2 draw at the Etihad Stadium.
Trossard had already received a yellow when, after fouling Bernardo Silva near halfway in first-half added time, the Belgian showed dissent by kicking the ball. Arsenal had to defend their 2-1 lead with 10 men for all of the second half.
