Mikel Arteta has escaped punishment following a Football Association charge after the Arsenal manager\u2019s recent post-match rant at refereeing standards.<\/p>\n

The Spaniard labelled the decision to allow Anthony Gordon\u2019s goal to stand in a 1-0 Premier League defeat at Newcastle on November 4 as \u201cembarrassing\u201d and a \u201cdisgrace\u201d.<\/p>\n

Arteta was later charged by the FA for breaking Rule E3.1 \u2013 which could have resulted in a ban but has instead been cleared of any wrongdoing.<\/p>\n

\u201cAn independent Regulatory Commission has found the charge against Mikel Arteta for an alleged breach of FA Rule E3.1 to be not proven,\u201d an FA statement read.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe manager was charged following various comments in media interviews after Arsenal\u2019s Premier League game against Newcastle United on Saturday 4 November.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was alleged that his comments constituted misconduct in that they were insulting towards match officials and\/or detrimental to the game and\/or brought the game into disrepute.\u201d<\/p>\n

There were no set sanctions for if Arteta had been found guilty \u2013 but a fine or touchline ban would have likely been the outcome.<\/p>\n

Arteta has since said he would continue to speak out against poor officiating and the use of VAR if he felt the standards were not being met.<\/p>\n

In the written reasons for the rule not being proven, it was revealed Arteta claimed that: \u201cThe word \u2018disgrace\u2019\u2026\u2018has a very similar spelling and pronunciation to the Spanish \u2018desgracia\u2019\u2026the Spanish word has connotations of misfortune, tragedy or bad luck rather than the connotations of the English equivalent which suggest contempt, dishonour or disrespect.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile the English meaning may lead to interpretations of abuse or insult, this was not the intended meaning.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite Arteta\u2019s comments at St James\u2019 Park, Professional Game Match Officials Limited chief Howard Webb later said the process to award Gordon\u2019s goal had been correct and VAR had been right in not overruling the on-field call.<\/p>\n

Arsenal came out in support of Arteta by issuing a statement the following day \u2013 although the club avoided an FA charge for also questioning the capability of match officials.<\/p>\n

The outcome of Arteta\u2019s charge means he is free to return to the dugout for Arsenal\u2019s visit of Brighton on Sunday, having served a one-match touchline ban in last weekend\u2019s 1-0 loss at Aston Villa, having accrued three yellow cards this season.<\/p>\n
