A Premier League panel has unanimously ruled that the penalty awarded to Sunderland against Arsenal was incorrect, vindicating Mikel Arteta's furious reaction to the decision. Referee John Brooks awarded Sunderland a penalty after penalising Arsenal defender Ezri Konsa for holding Dan Ballard during a corner in the September 12 meeting. David Raya saved Enzo Le Fee's resulting spot-kick as Arsenal went on to win 2-0. Arteta had strongly contested the decision after the match, with Arsenal subsequently contacting Pro Ref to seek an explanation.
