Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger explained away his players being caught out for the start of the second-half in last night's 1-0 victory over Roma.
The second half opened in farcical fashion as Roma kicked off when Arsenal only had nine men on the field.
William Gallas and Kolo Toure eventually dashed from out of the tunnel, with the Ivory Coast defender running straight onto the pitch - and being promptly booked by Danish referee Claus Bo Larsen for entering the field of play without permission.
Wenger revealed: "It's explainable by the fact that Kolo always goes out last. He waited for William, but didn't know William had treatment.
"He didn't know the game had started without them. He was putting on his boots.
"I don't know if it is superstition. It is our fault. You have to be ready when the bell rings."
