Arsene Wenger has been charged by the F.A. with misconduct following the pushing of fourth official Anthony Taylor during the last match against Burnley.
The incident occurred when referee Jon Moss gave a penalty to Burnley after Francis Coquelin fouled Ashley Barnes inside the penalty box.
Wenger was furious and kept complaining about the given penalty. He had been told to leave the field but instead of going to the tunnel he was seen standing at the tunnel entrance.
The fourth official was trying to send him in the tunnel but the French gaffer was seen pushing him. Arsenal went on to win the match 2-1 with a late penalty from Alexis Sanchez.
FA have issued a statement: “Arsene Wenger has been charged for misconduct following Arsenal’s game against Burnley on Sunday (22 January 2017).
“It is alleged that in or around the 92nd minute, he used abusive and/or insulting words towards the fourth official.
“It is further alleged that following his dismissal from the technical area, his behaviour in remaining in the tunnel area and making physical contact with the fourth official amounted to improper conduct.
“He has until 6 pm on 26 January 2017 to respond to the charge.”
