    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    After the game, the 29-year-old paid a visit to the dressing room. Per the Independent, Arsenal players were furious over Chris Kavanagh's performance, with the referee controversially showing Declan Rice a second yellow card in the first half for delaying the restart. The report adds that Arteta was even angrier than his players but mindful of keeping his composure.
