Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is disappointed that defender Gabriel Paulista has received a one match ban.
The Brazilian was suspended retrospectively due to his part in the fracas involving Diego Costa and though his initially red was overturned, Wenger remains frustrated.
"It doesn’t help us too much. I watched the game again," he said, as reported by The Independent. "It"s better I don"t talk too much because there are some thing that were really surprising in this game, some incidents were really handled very lightly and not seriously, and it"s better I don"t talk too much because I"m still angry about it.
"I won"t give you anything more. It"s just difficult to understand. One or two situations in the game are very difficult to understand when you watch it again. I am in a job where I sometimes have to swallow things that are not right, maybe our opponents do sometimes as well. I just have to focus on the next game.
"I said to you after the game that he should not have responded at all and I maintain that and I told him that. But when I saw it again, he did not do a lot, honestly. You want them just to have hopefully a fair judgement and we will accept what they decide. That"s part of it.
"I don"t think they will [take into account the red card was rescinded]. They will judge that situation and it"s right. They cannot consider the whole context of the game. You want them to judge, they"ll decide and we"ll accept the decision. That"s no problem."
