Koeman irritated by Wenger referee moans after Everton win

After Everton’s hard-fought comeback win over Arsenal, the Gunners manager Arsene Wenger commented to the media that his side were done in by referee Mark Clattenburg.

That in itself is cause for hilarity for Toffees who for years have felt that the official has had it in for the Blues over the years.

Ronald Koeman did not seem surprised when told during his post-match press conference about Wenger’s issues with the referee, saying -

Of course, Koeman and Wenger have had some history in the Dutchman’s short tenure in the Premier League. In three home games against Arsenal, Koeman has won 1-0, 4-0 and now 2-1.

Earlier this year in February after a 0-0 draw at Southampton, Wenger had ambushed referee Lee Mason and then yelled at him, to which Koeman then responded.

Arsene Wenger was involved in an amazing tunnel bust-up with Southampton boss Ronald Koeman.

Wenger confronted referee Lee Mason at the end of their 0-0 draw with Southampton at the Emirates that leaves them five points behind leaders Leicester.

Wenger shouted at Mason: 'It's always the same with you.'

Koeman saw the exchange and confronted Wenger before saying: 'It's always the same with you.'

And even before that, when Southampton had beaten the Gunners 4-0 in December last year, Koeman had made a smart retort about Wenger’s whining then too.
