Mikel Arteta was left fuming by the decision to award a penalty for Myles Lewis-Skelly's foul on Jack Harrison as Arsenal drew with Everton, having rewatched the incident 15 times.

Liverpool moved another step closer to the Premier League title without kicking a ball on Saturday, as Arsenal played out a drab 1-1 draw at Goodison Park.

The Gunners were much the better team in the first half and went ahead through Leandro Trossard's neat finish, but the game turned on an error from Lewis-Skelly.

Just 47 seconds into the second half, Lewis-Skelly misjudged the bounce of the ball and hauled Jack Harrison down inside the area.

Referee Darren England's decision to award the spot-kick was checked by the VAR and cleared, and Iliman Ndiaye slotted home to make it 1-1.

After watching his side struggle for clear-cut chances from that point on, Arteta lamented what he saw as a refereeing error. 

"I am 100% frustrated," Arteta told BBC Sport. "We were very much in control of the match. 

"We were hoping in the second half to continue the domination but out of nothing the referee decides to give a penalty.

"I have seen it 15 times – in my opinion, it is never a penalty.

"They [Everton] are very good at what they do. We gave away so many silly fouls which led to set-pieces. They generated nothing at all."

Those comments were put to Everton boss David Moyes, who said: "I've watched it zero times so I couldn't tell you if it was a penalty or not because I've not seen it back.

"I've said to the players that the challenge we've got is to prove how we get on against the better teams. 

"We are trying to play better, we didn't do that today, so we need to find a way we can do that. Moving forward, we are trying to find how to get better against better sides."

Everton moved above Tottenham to go 14th with 35 points, while second-placed Arsenal are now 11 adrift of Liverpool, who need a maximum of 11 more points to clinch the title.

Arsenal did at least avoid any further injuries ahead of Tuesday's huge Champions League quarter-final first leg against Real Madrid, having seen Gabriel Magalhaes ruled out for the remainder of the season earlier this week.

But that was little consolation for Arteta, who said: "That's all good, but we wanted the three points. 

"You want everything the way you plan it. We did a lot of good things, managed to rest some players, but we wanted three points."
