Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta will face no punishment from Englands Football Association following his complaints about refereeing standards after a defeat by Newcastle last month.

The Gunners boss was furious at the decision to let Anthony Gordons goal stand in a 1-0 Premier League loss at St James Park on November 4, labelling the verdict as embarrassing and a disgrace.

Arteta was charged by the FA, which could have led to a touchline ban, but the case against the Spaniard was not proven according to an announcement on Thursday.

An independent Regulatory Commission has found the charge against Mikel Arteta for an alleged breach of FA Rule E3.1 to be not proven, said an FA statement.

The manager was charged following various comments in media interviews after Arsenals Premier League game against Newcastle United on Saturday 4 November.

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.(AFP)
