ARTETA BANNED FOR ARSENAL’S CLASH WITH ASTON VILLA
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta will be banned from the touchline for Saturday’s trip to Aston Villa.
The Gunners manager was booked for his celebrations when Declan Rice scored a dramatic 97th-minute winner in Arsenal’s 4-3 win at Luton on Tuesday night.
It was Arteta’s fourth yellow card of the season, which results in a touchline ban.
This rule was introduced at the start of this season.
Speaking after the game, Arteta told beIN Sports: “I could not be seated in my seat.
“It was pure emotion. If that’s a yellow… that’s a yellow.”
Arsenal visit Aston Villa, on a run of 12 consecutive home victories, on Saturday.
