Arsenal was presented with a prime opportunity to increase their lead after Aston Villa dropped points against Crystal Palace yesterday.
However, Arteta, 43, infuriated fans when he seemingly pressured Liverpool left-back Kerkez during the first half of the North Londoners’ clash with Liverpool.
Many expressed their frustration on social media, calling for referee Anthony Taylor to take action.
One fan remarked: “Is he playing right-back?”
Another questioned: “What is the purpose of a technical area if Arteta is allowed to pressure Kerkez?”
A third fan added: “Does Arteta even know what a technical area is?”
A fourth chimed in: “How does Arteta continually get away with stepping out of the technical area? He’s practically on the pitch.”
A fifth angry fan commented: “What is the point of the technical area for managers?!”
“He is mere millimeters from stepping onto the pitch! Why aren’t the officials enforcing the rule about managers staying within their technical areas?!”
Arsenal entered tonight’s match against Liverpool having won their last five Premier League games.
They secured victory on Saturday, thanks to Gabriel Magalhaes’ first-half equalizer and Declan Rice’s brace.
There were animated scenes in the dugout following that critical win, especially after a heated exchange with the Bournemouth bench.
