Reason confirmed for Mikel Arteta yellow card vs Luton and what Arsenal boss can and can't do

Mikel Arteta was booked for «excessive celebrating» of Declan Rice's 97th-minute winner in Arsenal's Premier League clash with Luton Town football.london understands. Rice headed in with the last kick of the game at Kenilworth Road sparking joyous scenes on the Gunners bench.

In the aftermath of these, Arteta received a yellow card for what sources have now confirmed to football.london was an excessive celebration. Law 12 of IFAB says: 'Players can celebrate when a goal is scored, but the celebration must not be excessive; choreographed celebrations are not encouraged and must not cause excessive time-wasting.'

It appears this is also applicable in the case of coaches although not explicitly mentioned. The yellow however has further ramifications beyond this game.

The caution is Arteta’s third of the Premier League season meaning that he will receive a pitchside suspension for the match against Aston Villa this weekend. Arteta told BeIN Sport after the game: “I could not be seated in my seat. It was pure emotion. If that’s a yellow… that’s a yellow.”

There are several layers to the matchday that now change for Arteta. According to Premier League rules, his pitchside ban extends until two hours after the match.

However, he has full access to the dressing room before the match, at half-time and after the game. This means the Gunners boss can undertake the team talks before and midway through the game, however, whilst it is being played he will be accommodated in the directors' box.
