Football: Arsenal's Wenger rues defensive errors, takes swipe at video referee


LONDON (Reuters) - Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger rued his team's defensive errors after their 3-0 loss to Manchester City in the League Cup final on Sunday, but he also said the video replay system should have ruled one of the goals out. 'OFFSIDE' GOALWenger said Kompany's goal in the second half should have been ruled offside by the Video Assistant Referee (VAR), being used on Sunday for the first time in a cup final in England. He also defended his decision to field three at the back instead of four, saying that formation had worked well for the team before, including against Manchester City. But Wenger insisted the focus would be on their next Premier League fixture rather than their last-16 tie against European heavyweights AC Milan in the continent's second-tier event. Arsenal's next fixture is at The Emirates on Thursday against runaway Premier League leaders Manchester City, who are 27 points above them and already heading for the title.
