Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has defended Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang after his expulsion in their 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace on Saturday.
Aubameyang was shown a straight red card in the 67th minute following VAR consultation for his challenge on Max Meyer.
The 30-year-old had earlier fired the Gunners ahead in the 12th minute after a fine team movement but they were pegged back by Jordan Ayew's equaliser in the 54th minute.
