Arteta fumes over penalty decisions as Arsenal lose to Inter Milan
Referee talks with Arsenal's manager Mikel Arteta during a Champions League match against Inter Milan at the San Siro stadium in Milan, Italy, November 6, 2024

Inter Milan 1–0 Arsenal

at San Siro, Italy 

A HAKAN CALHANOGLU penalty moments before half time was enough to seal a hard-fought Champions League victory for Inter Milan on a raw and raucous evening at the San Siro on Wednesday evening.

The Turkish international’s spot-kick success at the end of the first half came on his return to action having missed three matches due to a thigh issue.

Arsenal came into this heavyweight clash here at a packed Stadio Giuseppe Meazza — to give this towering ground its full name — on the back of a disappointing 1-0 defeat at Newcastle last time out.
