Arsene Wenger: Wojciech Szczesny must learn to master his reactions
ARSENE WENGER has declared Wojciech Szczesny must learn to 'master his reactions' following his X-rated gesture during Arsenal's 2-0 defeat in the first leg of their last-16 Champions League tie against Bayern Munich.
The Polish shot stopper was shown a straight red card after he felled Arjen Robben in the first half to concede a penalty.
However, Szczesny appeared to make an obscene gesture as he stormed off the pitch while Lukasz Fabianski was waiting to replace him.
Although the referee didn't include the original incident in his report, it is thought UEFA will slap Szczesny with at least a one-match ban.
But Wenger believes players need to show a greater deal of professionalism in such circumstances.
"We will discipline him. We don't agree with what he did.
"It was a case of frustration spilling over. We are professionals. We have to master our reactions."
