Wenger: Arsenal unlucky with Anfield refereeing decisions

The Arsenal boss hinted refereeing decisions partially cost the Gunners after they were beaten 3-1 by Liverpool at Anfield

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger was not impressed with referee Robert Madley in the wake of his side's 3-1 Premier League defeat at the hands of Liverpool on Saturday.

First-half goals from Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane saw Liverpool surge ahead before Danny Welbeck pulled one back after the break.

Georginio Wijnaldum eventually made sure Liverpool emerged victorious with his goal well into stoppage time, but Wenger has suggested things could have gone differently had Emre Can been sent off in the second half after a strong challenge in midfield just minutes after receiving a yellow card for a foul on Alexis Sanchez.
