Arsene Wenger to accept a Football Association misconduct charge after being sent off in Sunday's win over Burnley.


   Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger, will accept a Football Association misconduct charge after being sent off in Sunday's win over Burnley.

  Wenger was sent to the stands by referee Jon Moss after allegedly using abusive language towards fourth official, Anthony Taylor, after Burnley were given a stoppage-time penalty at the Emirates Stadium.
   The French coach tried to watch the final moments of the match from the entrance to the tunnel and was shown pushing Taylor when the official asked him to leave the area.
  Arsenal went on to win the game 2-1 after being awarded a penalty of their own in the final minute, but Wenger's post-match apology for his behaviour couldn't stop the Football Association charging him.
   While Wenger accepts the charge, he will request a personal hearing with the Football Association to state his case and wants clarity on the rules for when a manager is sent to the stands.
