A claim that Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta insulted Sergio Conceicao's family has been denied.

There appeared to be words exchanged between the Gunners and FC Porto managers after their game in the Champions League.

Arsenal are through to the quarter finals after beating Porto on penalties, after the tie finished 1-1 on aggregate.

Speaking after the game, Conceicao said: "During the game and towards the bench he, in Spanish, I don't know if this is to do with Spanish managers, he insulted my family.

“At the end, I told him that the person he insulted is no longer among us."

The Mirror states that Arsenal are vehemently denying the accusation, with Arteta not commenting on it post-game.
