MADRID — Arsenal<\/a> manager Mikel Arteta was left “incredibly fuming” by a controversial penalty decision he said was “against the rules” and “changed the course” of their Champions League semifinal tie with Atl\u00e9tico Madrid<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Viktor Gy\u00f6keres<\/a>‘ 44th-minute penalty was canceled out by Juli\u00e1n \u00c1lvarez<\/a>‘s spot kick 12 minutes later but the Gunners were denied a second penalty when substitute Eberechi Eze<\/a> was challenged in the box by Atl\u00e9tico defender D\u00e1vid Hancko<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Dutch referee Danny Makkelie initially pointed to the spot but was sent to the monitor by VAR official Dennis Higler to review his decision.<\/p>\n

After watching the incident multiple times as Atl\u00e9tico fans and boss Diego Simeone protested repeatedly, Makkelie overturned his initial decision.<\/p>\n
