Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta says he is compiling footage of rival Premier League managers repeatedly leaving their technical areas after receiving his second yellow card of the season in his side’s 2-0 win over Everton.
Arteta joked about installing sensors on the sidelines, having been booked by referee Tony Harrington in the second half at the Emirates Stadium.
The Spaniard faces a one-match touchline ban if he receives another yellow card but believes other top-flight managers have repeatedly breached the rules without being punished.

"I do have to be careful, yeah," said Arteta. "I'm going to put sensors there!
"There are other managers (doing it), there are managers that have the record in the league: 36 times in 10 minutes they leave the touchline, no yellows.
"So I am clipping all of that so I have a massive storage of images, so if somebody comes to me (I can say) I'm not in the record yet, somebody else has the record."
Arteta hails Arsenal 'mentality'

Arsenal moved level on points with leaders Manchester City thanks to goals from centre-backs Ezri Konsa and Gabriel.
Konsa opened his account for the club in the seventh minute, converting from close range following a Martin Odegaard corner as the Gunners scored from a set piece for the first time this season.
Gabriel sealed victory with a 68th-minute header after recovering from an injury scare which left him down on the pitch requiring medical treatment.
Arteta believes the Brazil international's determination epitomises his team's character.

"The mentality of the team is the mentality of the individuals in the team," said Arteta.
"Gabi's a great example of that, because we were all scared, not because of the way he went down, but the reaction of the players that were next to him.
"Immediately he says he wants to continue and then he scores a goal to help us win the game. That's what we need from our players."
Calafiori picks up 'slight' issue
Arteta, who revealed substitute Riccardo Calafiori sustained a "slight" issue, also praised England international Konsa for adapting quickly following his summer move from Aston Villa.
"Unbelievable," said Arteta. "He's come to a huge club like Arsenal with no pre-season when (William) Saliba is here, with other players that are already here.
"And to position yourself in that manner, with that naturality and performing at the level that he's doing and building already a chemistry and a balance with Gabi that seems so solid, it's very, very difficult to do and we are really lucky to have him."
Everton manager David Moyes rued his side's slow start as they suffered a second successive defeat following last weekend's 2-0 loss to Chelsea.
Asked for his overall assessment, Moyes said: "Not an awful lot, really. I don't have big thoughts on it.
"I just felt we didn't really get to a level which I think would have been good enough to win on the day. We gave away a goal very early which meant we were chasing (the game).
"I felt we'd got a bit better in the second half, got a bit back into it a little bit more, got a bit closer to Arsenal and then they come up with the second goal.
"Some good stuff on the defensive side of it. I didn't feel we did enough on the attacking part of the game."
