Arsenal boss Wenger looks forward to more technology

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger whilst welcoming the use of the Hawkeye system in the Barclays Premier League from next season, would like to see more innovations introduced in the game. The Frenchman - like for key offside rulings - wants to eradicate any perceived injustice, such as those in this week's Champions League semi-finals where Borussia Dortmund netted controversial late goals to knock out Malaga.

"It's good news and I hope there is more good news to come on technology because we want the right decisions to be taken. The more assistance the referees get, the better it is," he said.

"When you look at the level of refereeing that you have seen again in Europe this week, it is absolutely disastrous what happened. The major decisions that have gone wrong in the Champions League, football cannot accept that lasts.

"When you have four players that are offside and nobody sees it, how can that happen? In the same action, another player is offside and scores a goal, and we stand here and defend that? It is not defendable."
