Wenger: France should offer replay

Arsene Wenger has echoed Thierry Henry’s calls for France’s controversial World Cup play-off against the Republic of Ireland to be replayed.

Henry – who became an Arsenal legend and the club’s record scorer before leaving to join Barcelona in 2007 – believes the “fairest solution” would be to replay the match following his handball in the build-up to the vital goal, scored by Gunners defender William Gallas.
