The Gunners wanted another penalty in stoppage time for handball by Jacob Murphy

The first came when Dan Burn tugged Gabriel Magalhaes’ shirt at a free-kick on the hour mark.

And Arsenal were screaming for a spot-kick again deep into stoppage time at the end of the game.

A Granit Xhaka cross struck the arm of Jacob Murphy at point-blank range, with Madley again ignoring furious penalty claims.

A livid Arteta raged to Sky Sports after the game: “We had two scandalous penalties [denied].”

When asked which of the claims was stronger, he hit back: “It’s not about the stronger, they are two penalties. That’s very simple.”

Arteta was then quizzed if he had spoken to referee Madley on the incidents.

He replied: “I am talking about what I’ve seen now, and it’s two scandalous penalties.”

Arteta and Newcastle boss Eddie Howe were involved in a touchline bust-up as ­the Gunners pleaded for a late penalty.

But the Toon gaffer claimed there was no issue between them when giving his view on the incident.

Howe said: “I didn’t think it was a penalty and at that stage it would have been a travesty. 

“Me and Mikel are fine.”

They are currently eight points ahead of Manchester City, who have played one game less than Arteta’s side.
