Danny Welbeck was widely accused of diving to win a penalty as he scored a brace in Arsenal's Europa League win over AC Milan - but manager Arsene Wenger refused to criticise the striker.
Leading 2-0 from the first leg in Italy, the Gunners were shaken by Hakan Calhanoglu's long-range strike but hit back to win 3-1 on the night and assure themselves of a spot in the quarter-finals with a comfortable 5-1 aggregate success.
Welbeck levelled with just his third goal in 26 games by winning and converting a dubious penalty after going down under minimal contact from Ricardo Rodriguez.
