Wenger in trouble for abusing referee

Arsene Wenger has been hit with an FA charge after his bust-up with Mike Dean at West Brom.

The FA have charged Wenger with “abusive and/or improper and/or questioned the integrity of the match referee” in the officials’ changing room after the game.

Arsenal boss Wenger was incensed after Dean awarded a last gasp penalty at West Brom for handball against Calum Chambers.

It means Wenger could face a lengthy ban after he was given a four game touchline ban last season after a busy up with Anthony Taylor.

The FA statement reads: “Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has been charged following the West Bromwich Albion game on Sunday, December 31, 2017.

“It is alleged his language and/or behaviour in the match officials’ changing room after the game was abusive and/or improper and/or questioned the integrity of the match referee. He has until 6pm on Friday January 5, 2018 to respond.”
