Arsene Wenger slams Arjen Robben for going down easily after Wojciech Szczesny made contact in the box.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has slammed Bayern Munich midfielder Arjen Robben for 'making the most' of Wojciech Szczesny's contact which led to a penalty.

Szczesny was sent off for the first-half incident, but Wenger believes that the Polish keeper should have remained on the pitch, with the decision changing the course of the contest.

"It killed the game," the 64-year-old is quoted as saying by Sky Sports News. "These rules are different in every country. In Italy, they send off for these kind of fouls. Our keeper went genuinely for the ball. He touched Robben, who certainly made more of it. I told [Robben] afterwards.

"Wojciech misjudged the situation but there was no clear desire to make a foul, he misjudged the ball. Robben has enough experience to know to make more of it. Overall, I felt Bayern made more of every single contact and we are not used to it in England.

"The fouls that were given are not given in the Premier League, but we have to get used to it and accept it. The game delivered what it promised at the start. The game was top quality until then [the penalty decision] but in the second half I think it was, for neutral people, boring. It was one-way traffic and the referee made a decision that basically killed the game."

Bayern went on to win the Champions League tie at the Emirates Stadium 2-0, courtesy of goals from Toni Kroos and Thomas Muller.
