Arsenal boss Wenger slams Robben as "a very good diver"

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has branded Bayern Munich winger Arjen Robben "a very good diver" after being dumped out of the Champions League. The 1-1 result saw Arsenal bundled out of Europe 3-1 on aggregate.

Wenger was clearly less than impressed by the antics of Robben.

"Robben is very good at getting the maximum of nothing and he is a great player and as well a very good diver, but it is part of it," the Arsenal manager said.

"He is a fantastic player, I would not deny that, he's one of the best players in the world.

"But he gets in front of a player and then he slows down and goes down. He gets the free-kicks.

"That's where we spoke about yesterday that the referee, if he gives him a yellow card on the first one when he goes down, he will not do it again."
