Manager Mikel Arteta says it is “difficult to accept” that Arsenal were not awarded a penalty in their 1-0 Champions League defeat by Inter Milan.
Arteta felt midfielder Mikel Merino had been punched by Inter goalkeeper Yann Sommer when he tried to claim a cross.

Paul George heard about it in his return to Los Angeles on Wednesday night for the first time since leaving the Clippers last summer for the Philadelphia 76ers.
Fans booed George when he was introduced at Intuit Dome, the Clippers’ new arena that wasn’t close to being full. They got vocal each time he touched the ball in the opening minutes, and he responded by hitting back-to-back 3-pointers that pulled the Sixers into an early tie.
“Boo him tonight and love him afterwards,” Clippers coach Tyronn Lue said before the game.
George was playing just his second game of the season after a left knee injury kept him out. He scored 15 points in 32 minutes of the Sixers’ 118-116 loss at Phoenix on Monday.
“He gave us just a little bit more versatility defensively,” Sixers coach Nick Nurse said beforehand. “He’s 6-9 and can kind of cover multiple things. Gave us a little size. Certainly settled us down on the offensive end.”
Late in the first quarter, the Clippers played a George tribute video on the giant halo board above the court. He waved to acknowledge the polite applause.
“He’s a special talent,” Lue said. “He’s seen everything, seen every defense.”
In five seasons with the Clippers, the native of nearby Palmdale helped them to their first-ever Western Conference Finals appearance, but they were knocked out in the first round of the playoffs the last two years.
George opted out of his player option in his $48 million contract with the Clippers to become a free agent and was wooed to Philly to play with Joel Embiid. He has yet to play this season because of a knee injury and is now serving a three-game suspension for shoving a Philly sports columnist.
The Clippers are 3-4 to open the season, hardly the kind of start they want to help attract fans to their new building.
Another fan held up a sign reading “Paul G, Please Come Back.” The Clippers are without Kahwi Leonard, who has yet to play this season while nursing his surgically repaired right knee — again. Besides George, they also lost Russell Westbrook from their Big Four that is now down to Leonard and James Harden.

The question now is how long Osimhen will stay at Galatasaray and feel that Turkish love.
He has a 130m euro release clause at Napoli, while there are also rumours of a break clause, external in his loan at Galatasaray which would allow him to move on in January.
He continues to be linked with several major European clubs, including Tottenham, Galatasaray’s next opponents in the Europa League on Thursday. For Osimhen, this could be a chance to place himself in the early Christmas shopping window.
According to Bayazit, it is also a question of finances and squad balance for Galatasaray.
“If I was an accountant I would say, ‘don’t do it’,” he says when asked if Galatasaray will aim to keep the striker beyond his loan.
He suggests Napoli “will want 50m euros bare minimum” as a transfer fee. Galatasaray’s record signing is midfielder Gabriel Sara from Norwich last summer for 18m euros.
Bayazit also highlights the issue of TV rights in Turkish football. In the summer a new deal was struck with Bein Media for $182m a season. Before 2019-20, the Super Lig had a $500m yearly deal, but fluctuations in the Turkish lira saw the contract renegotiated, external.
“Galatasaray have Mauro Icardi, so they should spend that money on a different position to centre forward,” adds Bayazit. “One reason it was a really surprising move was that they have great strikers but no star wingers.
“Fans were very critical before Osimhen happened as there was no star winger. They are now happy, but as a puzzle piece fitting in, it doesn’t make sense.”
Unsurprisingly, Garcia Gomez kept his cards close to his chest when asked about Osimhen’s future.
“Hopefully this relationship remains,” he said. “But we must be focused on the present.”
