Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger rages at referee Lee Probert after Premier League match at Fulham

A furious Arsene Wenger hit out at referee
Lee Probert's decisions after Arsenal's 2-1
Premier League defeat at Fulham.
Former Gunners defender Philippe Senderos
upended Gervinho in the box but Probert waved
away the penalty appeals.
Laurent Koscielny then gave the Gunners a 21st
minute lead but the dismissal of Johan Djourou
with 12 minutes remaining for two yellow cards
cost his side.
First Steve Sidwell nodded home with five
minutes to go before Bobby Zamora volleyed
home at the death to sealFulham's win.
"The referee influenced the game in completely
the wrong way, in my opinion," Wenger said.
"We cannot influence that.
"We had a good first half and in the second half
we were tired in the last 10 minutes. We lost the
game because we were down to 10 men.
"The first yellow card was not a yellow card. The
second yellow card was a foul for us.
"There was a 100 per cent penalty for us in the
first half and that is that, plus the fact we did not
take our chances in the first half made the
difference.
"In the end, I think it was very unlucky to lose a
game with 10 men.
"When you see that we finished the game with 10
men, it is very difficult to take and that makes a
massive difference when you played 48 hours
before. It is too difficult."
Wenger also apportioned some blame on
Fulham, who he claimed had attempted to get
Djourou sent off.
"When Djourou got the first card, every time he
intervened they went down to get him a second
yellow and he did nothing at all," he added.
"I saw it coming, you know. When they brought
on (Kerim) Frei they looked for a second yellow
card on Djourou and they got it."
He added: "I do not need to make stories for
newspapers. I tell you the game I have seen. I
don't care about the rest.
"I just felt that every time Djourou was on the
fringe to get the second. You can watch the game
(again)."
On the implications of the result on his team's
season - the Gunners are nine points off top spot
in fifth position, having played a game more -
Wenger added: "It's a massive missed
opportunity, yes, but we have consistent
problems to face."
Asked to elaborate on what the problems were,
he added: "Nothing."
