<\/p>\n
Mikel Arteta has been given until Friday to respond to his Football Association charge for comments he made after Arsenal\u2019s defeat by Newcastle earlier this month.<\/p>\n
The Gunners boss branded the VAR decision not to rule out Anthony Gordon\u2019s goal in his side\u2019s 1-0 defeat at St James\u2019 Park \u201can absolute disgrace\u201d.<\/p>\n
Arteta has been charged with a breach of FA rule E3.1 and initially had until Tuesday to offer his response.<\/p>\n
However, that deadline has now been extended until Friday at the Gunners\u2019 request, the PA news agency understands.<\/p>\n
VAR made a triple check to see whether the ball had gone out of play before Joe Willock\u2019s cross, whether Joelinton had fouled Arsenal defender Gabriel and whether Gordon had been offside.<\/p>\n
Arteta could not hide his anger after the match, saying: \u201cYou have to talk about how the hell did this goal stand up? Incredible. I feel embarrassed.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have to now come in here and try to defend the club and please ask for help because it\u2019s an absolute disgrace that this goal is allowed. An absolute disgrace.\u201d<\/p>\n
