Wenger battling against amazing Arsenal meltdown

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is facing a dressing room meltdown after their 4-4 draw with Tottenham. Angry Gunners stars were heard shouting and arguing after Tottenham hit two late goals to seal a 4-4 draw at the Emirates on Wednesday.

And fuming manager Wenger is set to make widespread changes for Saturday's must-win trip to Stoke.

An Arsenal source told The Sun: "Everyone was going crazy in the dressing room after the game. There were a lot of raised voices and fingers being pointed.

"Everyone was blaming each other for Spurs' two late goals and the manager was as angry as anyone has seen him for a long time."

Central to the argument was the lack of leadership from captain William Gallas and his central-defensive partner Mikael Silvestre.

Left-back Gael Clichy was particularly distraught at his part in Tottenham's third goal and questions were also asked about the way possession was surrendered in the dying seconds to allow Aaron Lennon a last-gasp equaliser.
