Mikel Arteta FUMES at controversial Everton penalty as Arsenal's title hopes crumble following 1-1 draw at Goodison Park

An upset Mikel Arteta fumed that a controversial second-half Everton penalty conceded by Myles Lewis-Skelly had unjustly hurt Arsenal’s crumbling title hopes.

The 1-1 draw leaves Liverpool requiring only 11 points from their remaining eight games – starting with Fulham today — to guarantee themselves the Premier League title.

Leandro Trossard put the Gunners ahead on 34 minutes before Everton equalised a minute into the second half through Iliman Ndiaye’s penalty, which was conceded by Lewis-Skelly.

The 18-year-old drew the attention of referee Darren England after hauling down Jack Harrison inside the area a minute into the second half.
