Wenger angry over Wigan woes

31 December 2010 08:00
Arsene Wenger has joined skipper Cesc Fabregas in claiming Arsenal were robbed of a penalty in their 2-2 draw at Wigan. Referee Lee Probert refused to award a penalty when Samir Nasri's free-kick hit James McArthur's hands in Wednesday's game - Fabregas had conceded a spot-kick for a similar offence against Tottenham in November. Wenger also said Probert was also wrong to have given a spot-kick when Charles N'Zogbia fell over Laurent Koscielny's trailing leg. Wenger told Arsenal TV: "I think their penalty was definitely not a penalty and we had a 100% penalty - I cannot see a difference with the penalty we got against Tottenham and the one we didn't get against Wigan. "What's even more disappointing is the referee was only five yards away."
