Wenger surprised by touchline ban

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger admits he is “no angel” in the dug-out but has defended the stance which saw him handed a touchline ban in the Champions League.

The Frenchman was sent to the stands by referee Eric Braamhaar during the 3-1 defeat in Sevilla on Tuesday night, after complaining about what he felt was time-wasting by home captain Daniel Alves.
