Arsene Wenger slammed with four-game ban plus £25,000 fine

Arsene Wenger has has been slammed a four-game touchline ban from the English FA following an incident between him and the match officials last Sunday.

Despite apologising for his actions, the Arsenal manager was also fined £25,000.

Wenger had pushed fourth official Anthony Taylor after being sent off by referee Jonathan Moss.

This occurred in the closing stages of Arsenal’s dramatic 2-1 win over Burnley in a Premier League match.

At the time of Wenger’s sending off, Burnley had been awarded a 93rd minute penalty which the away side converted.

That allowed the visitors level the match at 1-1 and put Arsenal’s title aspirations in jeopardy.

However, Arsenal earned themselves a 98th minute penalty which Alexis Sanchez coolly scored to secure the 2-1 win.

That result allowed the Gunners move from fourth to second place on the Premier League table.
