Mikel Arteta was left unhappy at the decision to award Everton a penalty in their 1-1 draw as Arsenal lost more ground to Liverpool in the Premier League title race.

The Gunners boss was left bemused as Everton were given a second-half penalty for a soft foul by Myles Lewis-Skelly on Jack Harrison, which allowed Iliman Ndiaye to cancel out Leandro Trossard's 34th-minute opener.

"I've seen it 15 times. There's no way, in my opinion, that's a penalty," said Arteta, after the draw presented leaders Liverpool with the chance to extend their lead to 14 points at Fulham on Sunday.
