Arsene Wenger has been charged for misconduct by the Football Association (FA) after confronting the match officials in the wake of Arsenal’s 1-1 draw with West Brom.
The Baggies were awarded a late penalty after Mike Dean adjudged Calum Chambers to have handled the ball in the area, and Jay Rodriguez subsequently converted to earn the home side a point at the Hawthorns.
Wenger angrily confronted Mike Dean and his match officials on the pitch, along with his goalkeeper, Petr Cech, to question the decision, while it is reported that he also entered the referees’ room after the game.
The FA have released the following statement: “Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has been charged following the West Bromwich Albion game on Sunday [31/12/17].”
Wenger could be handed a touchline ban, after he was suspended from the touchline for four matches last season after attempting to push Anthony Taylor during Arsenal’s 2-1 win over Burnley in January 2017.
