Arsene Wenger should face long ban for shoving Anthony Taylor… and he had nothing to moan about after officials missed Laurent Koscielny offside that led to winner

Arsene Wenger must surely face a lengthy touchline ban after he inexplicably went berserk and shoved fourth official Anthony Taylor.

Wenger was asked to leave the technical area, which the Arsenal manager reluctantly did but then tried staying in the tunnel, something he is not permitted to do. Taylor advised him to move, at which point Wenger lost it and appeared to shove the official.

Wenger and his team have benefitted from plenty of 'close calls' by officials this season and he should have remembered that and stayed calm.

There was more fortune for them in the last minute as Laurent Koscielny was fouled in the penalty area by Ben Mee.
