But the FA have now announced an independent Regulatory Commission found the charge to be not proven after a hearing.

“It was alleged that his comments constituted misconduct in that they were insulting towards match officials and/or detrimental to the game and/or brought the game into disrepute,” the FA also stated.

The charges came after Arteta had blasted the manner of Newcastle’s winner scored by Anthony Gordon, which needed three VAR checks.
