'He drives me nuts' - ex-Everton employee rips into Mikel Arteta after what he did in Arsenal win

Arteta received a yellow card for leaving his technical area during Arsenal's win over Everton; ex-Everton scout Bryan King criticized his touchline behaviour as unnecessary.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta was booked by referee Tony Harrington for repeatedly leaving his technical area during Saturday's 2-0 victory over Everton, the second such caution he has received this season. Arteta responded by claiming he has evidence that other Premier League managers leave the technical area without receiving yellow cards, stating he has compiled a "massive storage of images" to support his case. He noted that one manager has left the touchline 36 times in 10 minutes without being cautioned.

Former Everton senior scout Bryan King criticized Arteta's behaviour, telling Football Insider: "If I was a player, I wouldn't want to see my manager dancing about, shouting about, waving his arms about. He drives me nuts, Arteta." King argued that managers should remain in their designated technical area and questioned what such behaviour proves. Arteta will face a one-match suspension if he receives one more yellow card for the same offence.
