O’Neil slams Arsenal
Gary O’Neil has slammed Arsenal’s tactics during their 2-1 win against Wolves at the Emirates Stadium.
The Wanderers boss accused the Gunners of deliberately wasting time in the closing stages of his team’s defeat on Saturday.
He told beIN Sport: “I just thought Arsenal took ages over the restarts at the end.
“I was told we were going to 98 because there was a long stoppage in added time but they had three restarts and they took 45 seconds with each.
“I felt at the time it could have been extended slightly because we’re trying to clamp down on timewasting.
“Sometimes you don’t expect Arsenal to be time-wasting but I am sure if we had taken as long over some of the throws and restarts away at the Emirates we would have been receiving yellow cards.
“No criticism of Arsenal, if it was me I would’ve had my team taking their time at that moment as well.
“We’re seeing a lot of people booked for delaying restarts and didn’t feel like we got the time we thought we should’ve had.”
