He's learned from the best

I guess Wenger is starting to rub off onto his players.

"Laurent Koscielny insisted he did not know whether he had handled the ball during Arsenal’s dramatic late winner over Burnley."

I can't imagine even a die hard Arsenal fan can defend this

Did you type this while wearing your "Free Suarez" shirt?

Wish Kos came out and said he deliberately punched it into the goal, that Burnley go down and that a load of children die in a bus crash tomorrow on the way to school. Need as many haters as possible, the tears of bitter taste so good

Watched the game on TV and the goal was re-played several times. Both commentators agreed that the ball was shot against Koscielny's arm, and not played by him. In other words, it was a valid call by the referee who, by the way, did not call several Burnley hand-balls in the second half. A tough loss for Burnley, but they went to sleep on that play and got burned.

What's the OP bitching about anyway? Just a moan for the sake of it? It was a valid goal, end of.

This game will be remembered for the Arsenal handball goal in the dying seconds. However there was a handball by Burnley's Lowton in the second half that was not given .

Pretty sure the rule states it's handball if it's deliberate or arms are in an unnatural position. Neither of those were the case. Correct decision.

Handling the ball involves a deliberate act of a player making contact with the ball with the hand or arm.

The following must be considered:
the movement of the hand towards the ball (not the ball towards the hand)
the distance between the opponent and the ball (unexpected ball)
the position of the hand does not necessarily mean that there is an infringement

Hey Knucklehead,
I believe that the issue involves the game that Arsenal played yesterday!
