Arsenal boss Wenger hit with UEFA ban and fine

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has been banned from the touchline for three matches and fined €40,000 by UEFA it has been announced.

The Frenchman faced a charge of improper conduct after his actions following his side's Champions League Round of 16 win over AC Milan at the Emirates Stadium on March 6.

The North London club won 3-0 on the night, but lost 4-3 on aggregate, and Wenger was furious with referee Damir Skomina for paying too many free-kicks to the Rossoneri.

The end result was a third ban from UEFA in a year but Wenger is likely to appeal the verdict after stating he would do so if he was to receive a suspension.
