Arsenal boss Wenger: Maradona was Hand of Devil

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says people are wrong to celebrate Diego Maradona's 'hand of God' goal for Argentina in 1986.

The current Argentina manager punched the ball into the back of the net as his country beat England in the 1986 World Cup Quarter-Final and later described his touch as 'The Hand of God'.

"I always said it was not the Hand of God but the Hand of the Devil," Wenger told arsenal.com.

"I never accepted what he did."
