A landmark game for Arsène Wenger will stay in the Frenchman’s memory for all the wrong reasons. It was that sort of evening for Wenger, who was in no mood to celebrate the fact that he had just clocked up his 811th Premier League game as manager to surpass Sir Alex Ferguson’s record. The Arsenal manager looked and sounded totally exasperated, his patience stretched to breaking point by the sight of Dean pointing to the spot in the 88th minute. Kieran Gibbs – a former Arsenal player, to rub salt into Wenger’s wounds – broke into the area and tried to lift the ball over Calum Chambers. Yet there is no escaping the fact that Arsenal were their own worst enemies at The Hawthorns.
