Wenger to accept FA misconduct charge for altercation with fourth official
A personal hearing with the Football Association will be requested by Arsenal boss, but he will accept a charge of misconduct
Arsene Wenger will accept a Football Association (FA) charge of misconduct following an altercation with the fourth official in the tunnel during Arsenal's match with Burnley on Sunday.
Wenger was sent to the stands in stoppage time of Arsenal's 2-1 victory at Emirates Stadium after complaining to referee Jon Moss about the awarding of a 93rd-minute penalty to Burnley, which Andre Gray converted to equalise.
After moving to stand in the tunnel amid a heated exchange with fourth official Anthony Taylor, Wenger appeared to push Taylor as he attempted to usher him away.
