Arsene Wenger was livid with the referee's decision to allow Manchester City's third goal against Arsenal on Sunday.
With the game at 2-1, Fernandinho slipped through a delicate pass to David Silva into the 18-yard-box. The Arsenal defence stood still with their hands raised, but the linesman's flag stayed down and Silva subsequently squared the ball to a wide-open Gabriel Jesus, who duly tapped home from close range. Replays later showed that Silva was offside.
Speaking after the game, Wenger expressed his fury at the decision: "You have seen what I seen - you judge how you want. I think the fact that you tell me that it's an offside goal shows enough.
"I don't want to take anything away from City's quality but it happened at a moment where we were really in the game, at 2-1. It killed the game. We had two offside goals here last year and we had one again this year.
"Apart from that, I felt that we started well in the first 10 minutes. After, we suffered because we played too deep for 25 minutes. In the last 10 minutes [of the first half] we came back into the game. In the second half, it was an even game.
"It was us chasing the game and them always being dangerous on counter-attacks. I felt that we put a lot of effort in and at 2-1, you could feel that we could come back. The 3-1 was an immense result for them, an unexpected present.
"But it is as it is. At 3-1, you have to go forward. We played with four offensive players and every counter-attack looked like they could score. But that's the history of the game that created that."
