After the suffered defeat, A.Wenger's gaze turned to the referee © JumpStory

In the Championship of England, London's Arsenal received a blow. On Saturday, Arsene Wenger's disciples away from home missed a precise strike from Jese and unexpectedly lost 0:1 to the "Stoke City" team. After the match, not only the performance of his team caught the Frenchman's eye - the strategist cursed and pointed fingers at the referee Andre Marriner. "This happened because we did not take advantage of numerous opportunities to score, made silly mistakes, lost possession of the ball, and defended poorly. And everything was crowned by the unsuccessful work of the referee, as he did not count a legitimately scored goal. A.Lacazatte should have had an accurate shot - I reviewed this episode and not even the Frenchman's foot was offside," - Wenger spoke about the incident in the 72nd minute. "Of course, we do not get penalties either. Look at the statistics and you will understand. Last year, the most penalties were given against us when playing at home, while Arsenal had the fewest such opportunities. No further comments are needed here."
