Arsenal eased past Lincoln City at the Emirates with a few gears to spare on Saturday afternoon. “We played an outstanding game against Bayern Munich but our game was killed by the referee,” Wenger said, his team having swamped a gallant Lincoln during a second half in which they scored four goals. That was one hell of a long 45 minutes for us.”There was support also from Cowley for Wenger at the end of a difficult week. He said: “People criticise Arsène Wenger but anyone who really knows football, you see the way those players move, how they understand space, and that comes from good coaching. Any manager who has stood the test of time as long as Arsène Wenger has deserves complete and utter respect as far as I’m concerned.”
