Mason was also dropped for the next round of games. Even though Arteta accepted the apology, he was still very angry about what had happened.NYSC portal
“We ended the game with a huge anger and disappointment because that wasn’t a human error,” the Arsenal boss said. “That was a big, big, big, not understanding your job and that is not acceptable. Everybody makes errors and mistakes and we are part of that, me the first one. But that was something else. I wasn’t having it, the club wasn’t having it and I think it’s clear, the consequences of what happened.
“That cost Arsenal two points and that’s not going to be restored. So we are going to have to find those two points somewhere else in the league.”

When asked if his talks with PGMOL gave him confidence that a similar mistake wouldn’t happen again, Arteta said.
“I will only be satisfied if they give us the two points back which is not going to be the case.
“I appreciate and I think they were really sincere, open and genuine apologies and explanations, which is really good. But it doesn’t take the fact that we have two less points than we should have on the table.”JAMB Result
