Referee hits back at Wenger criticism

The referee who reported Arsene Wenger to UEFA for improper conduct after Arsenal’s Champions League exit to AC Milan on Tuesday night has hit back at the Gunners boss and backed his performance, despite the Frenchman’s stinging criticism.

Wenger angrily confronted Damir Skomina, the official from Slovenia, after the final whistle following Arsenal’s 3-0 win over AC Milan.

A Sky Italia reporter claimed that Skomina ran down the tunnel to avoid Wenger and was shouting, “Don’t touch me! Don’t touch me!’’
