Despite tendering an apology for arguing
and pushing fourth official Anthony Taylor during his side dramatic 2-1
win over Burnley on Sunday, January, 22, 2017, Arsenal manager Arsene
Wenger could be facing a lengthy ban from the Football Association.
The
67-year-old French manager was livid when Burnley were awarded a
stoppage-time penalty to equalize at the Emirates Stadium and it saw the
former Nagoya Grampus 8 coach being sent off by referee Jon Moss.

Wenger has now expressed remorse for his action on the match officials on Sunday, January, 22, 2017.
''I
thought I could watch it from the corridor [of the tunnel]. I regret
everything. I should have shut up, gone in and gone home. I apologize
for that.
''Look,
it was nothing bad. I said something that you hear every day in
football. Overall nine times out of ten you are not sent to the stands
for that.

''If I am, I am, and I should have shut up
completely. I was quite calm the whole game, more than usual. But just
in the last two or three minutes… what I am particularly upset about, it
is better I do not talk about that,'' Wenger said
The
Football Association will now have to wait to see the referee's report
regarding Wenger's dismissal before deciding on any action.
