Mikel Arteta strongly disputes his red card at Crystal Palace on Saturday.
The incident came shortly after the Spaniard had given Arsenal the lead from the penalty spot in the 47th minute at Selhurst Park.
Arteta tangled with Marouane Chamakh just inside the visitors'
half as the home side broke clear.
Referee Chris Foy dismissed the
Arsenal captain and they had to ride out some difficult moments before Olivier Giroud added a second goal three minutes from time.
“It was a very harsh decision to send me off,” Arteta told Arsenal
Player. “Chamakh kicks my fight foot, I have seen it on television. It
is 40 yards away from goal too.
“It is true that I tried to block him with my hand but then he came
with his left foot into my right calf and then we were both on the
floor. It was never a tackle from me.
