Arsenal Reactions: Arsene Wenger, Arsenal manager, was frustrated after this shocking defeat. This was the second defeat in Manchester for Arsenal in the space of a fortnight. Wenger complained of tiredness of his players. He said to Sky Sports, “Some players looked really tired today… I feel we made some concentration mistakes and we paid for it.”

Manchester City Reactions: Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp says that Manchester City can become genuine challengers for the Premier League title in this season. He said to the ESPN, “City will threaten everyone… They have to with the players they have brought in. It will be interesting game between City and United next week, they look like they can beat anyone.”

Arsene Wenger, the manager of Arsenal, accuses Manchester United for employing anti-football tactics in the recent match at the Old Trafford. Man Uni won the match against Arsenal by 2-1.

Arsene Wenger will be receiving official apology for being banished from the dugout. Wenger remains incensed by the refereeing standard and convicts that Sir Alex Ferguson’s players were guilty of systematic fouling.

The Old Trafford match in which Arsenal had six players booked, triggered an automatic 25,000 pounds fine from the Football Association, The Guardian reported.

The conduct of the players of Arsenal was brought into question by Emmanuel Eboué being shown a yellow card for diving. A day before Eduardo da Silva was charged by UEFA for “deceiving the referee.” The offence was similar.

Arsene Wenger says, “There are other points than diving that, for me, are more urgent players who play only to make fouls and who are never punished; players who make repeated fouls and who get out of the game without a yellow card. That, for me, is more anti-football than a player who did what Eduardo did.”

He even accused Ferguson’s players of using similar tactics earlier. The most notable one is when his team was kicked off the pitch at Old Trafford during the 2004-05 season.
