Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, has expressed his surprise that Alex Song’s goal was chalked off, after his side recorded a 2-1 win over West Ham on Sunday.
Song, who left the Emirates two seasons ago, lashed in from over 30 yards, but the linesman adjudged that his West Ham team-mates obstructed Woijiech Szczensy’s vision.
“I didn’t know why Alex Song’s goal didn’t stand, I thought it would. We scored a good second goal and had many opportunities to score another,” Wenger told BBC Sport.
“It didn’t come and at 2-1 I thought the last 30 minutes would be difficult.
“We had a committed and united performance. The keeper made some good saves. We knew we needed to be good in the air today.”
Arsenal travel to Southampton on New Year’s Day.
