Wenger - Taylor comments were 'excessive'
Barclays Premier League
Birmingham City 2-2 Arsenal
Arsène Wenger admits he made some "excessive" comments about Martin Taylor following Saturday's game at St Andrews.
Passions were running high during the Arsenal manager's post-match press conference after a game in which Eduardo sustained a broken leg from the Birmingham defender's challenge and the visitors let two points slip in the final seconds due to a debatable penalty.
Wenger was strident in his view on Taylor's tackle but later he re-assessed his own viewpoint.
“It was a highly emotional afternoon and we were all shocked by the injury to Eduardo," he said. "On reflection, I feel that my comments about Martin Taylor were excessive. I said what I did immediately after the game, in the heat of the moment.”
