http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429’s manager, Arsene Wenger has gone on to reveal that he is still furious over Luis Suarez’s dive against the Gunners and believes that there is no room for such actions in football.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wojciech-Szczesny-c36998 charged forward.
It initially seemed like the keeper had taken the striker out, but replays suggested the forward to have dived in the box.
The referee went on to award Liverpool a penalty following the Uruguayan’s actions. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dirk-Kuyt-c11348 stepped up to take the spot kick, but Szczesny went on to pull off a brilliant double save to keep the striker out.
In the end, Arsenal went on to win the game by two goals to one.
Despite that fact, Wenger believes that diving should not be allowed in the sport and that players found guilty of doing so, should be punished severely.
Wenger, when talking about the incident and revealing just how he felt about it, is quoted to have said: "Suarez got the penalty last weekend... it was no penalty. Nobody touched him.”
“Where they go overboard is that nobody touched him. I can understand if they push the ball too far but when no one touches him... Then, when they roll down the sock, take the shin pad out like he has been kicked like mad. It's a bit overboard.”
“Everyone who has played football can understand they try to win the penalty but when he goes completely, afterwards, to get a bit more … we don't need that."
Following their win over Liverpool, Arsenal are sitting ten points ahead of the Reds and seem to be on course to claiming a Champions League spot for the coming season.
The team is set to take on Newcastle United, which is a game that the team won’t be taking lightly.
The Gunners have not beaten Newcastle on the last three occasions that they have met and hence Wenger will be looking forward to getting the best out of his team in the game.
