The coach of Tottenham Hotspur, Anthony Conte, driven Mikel Arteta who stopped complaining and focused on his own team after the Arsenal manager criticized the referee following Thursday’s 3-0 defeat, which reduced his side’s career lead to the top four by just one point.
Arteta was annoyed when referee Paul Tierney awarded the penalty against him in the 22nd minute and then showed Rob Holding the second yellow for a second foul on Son Heung-min. “If I say what I think, they suspended me for six months,” Arteta said.
Conte, whose team won with a brace from Kane and a goal from Son, disagreed with the referee’s assessment made by Arteta. “Arteta is a really good coach. But he just started this job and I think he hears a lot of complaining. He needs to focus more on his team and not complain too much,” he said. And he added: “The red card for me is clear. Don’t forget that against Liverpool I said nothing about what happened to Fabinho.”
The Italian indicated it was unfair for Arsenal to ask to postpone the match because of COVID-19 despite the team having only one positive case. “They only had one player with COVID. If you want to complain, we also have a lot of reasons to complain,” Conte said.
