Wenger found guilty and fined

Arsene Wenger was today fined £15,000 (€21,800) and “severely reprimanded” by the Football Association after being found guilty of an improper conduct charge for accusing Ruud van Nistelrooy of cheating.

Wenger had denied the charge, which arose from his televised comments after Arsenal’s defeat at Old Trafford in October, in which he declared of the Dutchman that: “We all know him. He can only cheat people.”
