Arsene Wenger was wrong to claim Manchester City benefited from two offside goals in their 2-1 win over Arsenal on Sunday, former officials Keith Hackett and Graham Poll have said.
Wenger hit out at referee Martin Atkinson and his assistants after the game, arguing that Leroy Sane was offside before scoring the equaliser and David Silva was distracting Arsenal goalkeeper Petr Cech when Raheem Sterling scored the winner.
The Arsenal boss said: "We conceded two offside goals, which is very difficult to accept in a game of that stature, but -- as it is well known -- the referees are protected very well like the lions in the zoo, so we have to live with those decisions.
