Arsenal striker Danny Welbeck is in the middle of a diving storm after victory over Europa League opponents AC Milan.

Welbeck collapsed in the penalty-area despite AC Milan defender Ricardo Rodriguez pulling out of the challenge.

Swedish referee Jonas Eriksson waved away Arsenal's 38th minute appeals but changed his mind following advice from fifth official Stefan Johannesson.

Former Arsenal defender Martin Keown admitted: “It looks like a dive and you can see that Milan boss Gennaro Gattuso was looking for a yellow card there."

Gunners boss Arsene Wenger claimed: “I haven't seen it again and I don't want to accuse Welbeck of diving before I've had another look.

“He looked genuine that it was a penalty but the Italian players were not happy with it and I can understand that.

“I will watch it again and give him my honest feeling about it, don't worry."
