Arsenal vs Burnley certainly made Super Sunday great. It had everything. A red card, two penalties, late goals and managerial sendings off.
Now while it made for great viewing, Arsene Wenger might look back at his reaction and feel a little embarrassed – and worried about a charge from the FA.
The Gunners boss was sent to the stands, and refused to go – then pushing the fourth official.
Of course, plenty of people made it clear that had Jose Mourinho behaved like that, there would have been hell to pay – and a long, long ban.
Some Arsenal fans however loved the passion, and fully backed their manager for it. Naturally Twitter was amazing.
“He stands where he wants, he stands where he wants, Arsene Wenger he stands where he wants”

If Wenger doesn’t get penalised for pushing an official, then the FA are a joke… Mourinho gets a fine for kicking a bottle

Was hoping Wenger would punch Anthony Taylor in the face. I would have made a Kickstarter campaign to pay his fine.

That was the most ridiculous sending off I’ve seen in a while and I’m not talking about Xhaka #Wenger #Arsenal

Wenger pushes official = Nothing
Mourinho kicks bottle = Banned

Wenger pushed the 4th official if that was Mourinho he’d get a fine and 3 match ban. Let’s see what Wenger gets @FA

Klopp shouts expletives at officials and Wenger shoves a fourth official, but it’s Mourinho who gets banned for kicking a water bottle.

Lengthy touchline ban looking for Wenger? Looked liked he pushed 4th official after arguing against being sent to stands.

Mourinho, Klopp and Conte would receive a 10-game ban for that push. Wenger won’t.
