Wenger demands VAR after West Brom snatch controversial point

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says Video Assistant Referees are required in the Premier League after his side were denied victory at West Brom by a controversial late penalty.

Alexis Sanchez's free-kick deflected in via James McClean to put the Gunners on the brink of victory at The Hawthorns as Wenger ticked onto 811 Premier League games managed - a new record.

However, Mike Dean awarded the Baggies a penalty late in the game after Kieran Gibbs' cross hit Calum Chambers' arm from point-blank range.

Arsenal fumed at Dean after the match with Petr Cech earning a yellow card, and Wenger then launched a scathing attack on the standard of officiating.
