Arsenal boss, Arsene Wenger, has blasted the match officials, that handled their 2-1 loss to Manchester City on Sunday.
Theo Walcott had opened the scoring in the 5th minute, but the hosts fought back in the second half through Leroy Sane and Raheem Sterling to win.
Wenger, who has now suffered two defeats within a week, flayed the decision to allow City’s goals stand. The 66-year-old feels referee Martin Atkinson and his assistants should have done better in spotting offside infringements.
Speaking to Sky Sports, he said: “I feel we dropped physically in the second half. In the first half we were dangerous and sharp.
“On top of that the decisions went against us. The two goals are two offside goals and, in a game of that stature, I feel that enough is enough because we got some bad decisions throughout the season.
“The second one is five yards offside. The first one is still offside. But what can I do? We have to live with that and look at ourselves and analyse why we lost the game
“It’s a shame because in the two games we were 1-0 up and we lost 2-1. I believe that we were quite in control and in the second half we suffered a bit physically after they came back into the game.”
