Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has defended Bernd Leno after the German was sent off in the loss to Wolves on Tuesday.

The goalkeeper attempted a clearance outside the box, but he misjudged the bounce and hit the ball with his hand.

Speaking after the 2-1 defeat, Arteta said: "I imagine he makes the decision in a split of a second, and naturally he tries to stop the ball. There's nothing he can do."

"It's hard enough to win football games in the league. Those big decisions are like that but it's nothing we can change at the moment."
