Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta mocked by League Cup organisers after ‘tricky’ ball excuse

The Hindu  

League Cup organisers have poked fun at Mikel Arteta after the Arsenal manager suggested the “tricky” match ball played a part in his side’s defeat by Newcastle. It flies different, and the grip is very different as well.” Prior to the first leg of its last-four clash, Arsenal had scored 11 times in three matches in the League Cup this season. The Carabao Cup X account, which has nearly 600,000 followers, reposted a clip of Arteta speaking about the ball during his post-match press conference and accompanied it with a meme of US rapper 50 Cent wearing an exasperated expression in an apparent dig at the Arsenal manager’s comments. Arteta is under pressure to deliver his second trophy as Arsenal manager, five years after he won the FA Cup in his first season in charge.
