Manager Arsène Wenger has once again called for the people in charge of governing football to introduce video technology.

The Frenchman has long been an advocate for the introduction of video refereeing in the game.

Wenger's comments come after striker Robin van Persie's goal against Chelsea was clearly offside, but the goal was given anyway.

Wenger said: "That is my regret [that the game hinged on an offside goal] but I would just like to say that we lost a Champions League Final on an offside goal and we had to take that as well.

"I am for video for a long, long time, and that would have been a good opportunity to do it.

"When we conceded a penalty against Liverpool, when we could have been refused a penalty against Liverpool, in the Champions League semi-final, we had to take it as well."

Dear Wenger don't bother yourself about that goal I am saying it to Van as well, there was a game we played against Chelsea in the FA cup, Drogba did the same. he was off side he even doubt to attack the ball but he went for it and scored it was rewarded for Chelsea and we were beaten 2-1 so that is the game. Sometimes it goes for you another time for your opponent.
