LONDON — Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger was charged on Tuesday for his conduct inside the match officials’ changing room following a Premier League game in which his team conceded a contentiously awarded penalty. Wenger’s language and behaviour after Arsenal’s 1-1 draw at West Bromwich Albion on Sunday was “abusive and/or improper and/or questioned the integrity of the match referee,” the English Football Association said. Wenger was incensed at the awarding of a penalty against Arsenal for handball by Calum Chambers. “It was very disappointing,” Wenger said Tuesday, before the FA’s charge had been made. “What is more frustrating for me is it happened many times this season — at Stoke, Watford, Man City, now West Brom.
