Former Premier League referee Graham Scott accused Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta of leaving his technical area 44 times before receiving a yellow card during Arsenal's 2-0 win over Everton. The accusation came after Arteta revealed he is compiling video evidence of rival Premier League managers repeatedly stepping out of their designated areas without facing punishment.
