Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has dismissed complaints from Aston Villa manager Steven Gerrard about Bukayo Saka.
Gerrard was unhappy with Saka complaining about the tackling from Villa's players during Arsenal's away win a fortnight ago.
Arteta said: "I think Bukayo said he was not going to complain, but he wanted some consistency in the refereeing.
"The only person who can protect the players is the referee because he guides the level of the game and the level of the contact and physicality that is allowed or not allowed in a football match.
"I think we have to protect our best players and that's in the hands of the referee, that's all. "
