Wenger: FA charge is 'harsh'

Following the charge by the FA in midweek citing that Arsenal failed to control their players in the 3-0 win against Hull City, manager Arsène Wenger has said that the club will fight the charge.

Players from both sides clashed in the events leading up to an Arsenal free kick just outside the Hull penalty area, with goalkeeper Manuel Almunia also rushing out to help separate the players.

Wenger said: "I think it is harsh but we will try to defend ourselves. I don't think it was a major incident compared to what can happen in a football game.

"At the start, the incident was created by Nasri's involvement but after that it was more players of Hull who were around it than Arsenal players. That's why we will try to defend it."
