Mikel Arteta reveals Arsenal have a ‘massive library’ of videos showing rivals pulling shirts – as he hits back after Alexander Isak controversy

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta revealed he keeps a massive library of video footage showing rival teams pulling shirts without punishment. His comments follow controversy after defender Jurrien Timber avoided conceding a penalty for tugging Alexander Isak's shirt during Arsenal's 1-0 victory against Liverpool on Sunday. Referee Andy Madley and VAR declined to award a foul, drawing outrage from Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola and captain Virgil van Dijk.

Arteta previously stated he also tracks rival managers leaving their technical areas following his own booking against Everton. In addition, Arteta confirmed that defender William Saliba is available for Arsenal's Champions League match against Slavia Prague after recovering from a back injury suffered in July.
