Manager Arsène Wenger has re-opened his war of words with Chelsea, this time accusing captain John Terry as being a violent player.
The England international suffered an injury and was forced to leave the field of play after a bad tackle from Emmanuel Eboue.
Although the Frenchman is saying that he is not condoning bad tackles from his players, he said that Terry has gotten away with many such tackles before.
Wenger said: "Ideally Eboue should not even have put his foot in there on Terry.
"We do not encourage players to do that, but you should look again at the violence of the tackle from Terry before.
"The referee has not seen exactly the violence of the tackle, he got away with it, good luck to him."
