Merson criticises Arteta's reaction to Dowman red card in Arsenal's loss
Football pundit Paul Merson has criticised Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta's reaction to Max Dowman being sent off in the club's defeat to Fleetwood Town in the EFL Cup.
Arsenal, the London football club, lost to Fleetwood Town in the EFL Cup, the English knockout competition for league clubs. During the game, Arsenal player Max Dowman was sent off.
The incident was later discussed by Paul Merson, a football pundit, in a video analysis published by Sky Sports. He was critical of how Arsenal's head coach Mikel Arteta reacted to Dowman's dismissal.
The source gives no further detail on the scoreline, the reason for the red card or what exactly Arteta did, so those circumstances are not known here. What is clear is that Merson considers the coach's reaction open to criticism and that Arsenal were beaten in this cup tie.
