Arsenal's title challenge hangs in the balance after Mikel Arteta expressed frustration over two rejected red card decisions in their recent games against Manchester City and Newcastle.

The Gunners are three points clear of second-placed Manchester City, but Arteta believes the title could be decided by goal difference, which currently favors City.

The Spaniard was particularly upset with the decision not to send off Newcastle goalkeeper Nick Pope for a foul on Viktor Gyokeres, which he believes was a clear red card.

Arteta also referenced a similar incident in their previous game against Manchester City, where Abdukodir Khusanov was not sent off after hauling down Kai Havertz.

The Arsenal boss believes these two decisions could prove decisive in settling the title race, but remains focused on what his team can control.

Arsenal can move six points clear of City if they beat Fulham next weekend, but Arteta knows there will be plenty more twists and turns before the season concludes.
