Football Association has revealed that Arsene Wenger called referee Mike Dean "not honest" and "a disgrace" after Arsenals' 1-1 draw at West Brom on New Year's Eve.
Recall that on December 24 2017, Dean gave a controversial late penalty, which Jay Rodriguez scored in a 1-1 draw.
The disciplinary panel said that Wenger entered the officials' changing room and confronted Dean.
Wenger was later slammed with three-match touchline ban and a fine of £40,000.
The referee said Wenger was "very aggressive".
According Written testimony from Dean, claims: "As we've entered the dressing room after the game Mr Wenger stood behind us in the doorway and told the West Brom steward to 'let him in'.
"He was very aggressive leaning towards me, pointing aggressively at me saying: 'You're not honest' on numerous occasions.
"I replied: 'So you're calling me a cheat.' He replied: 'I maintain what I say, you're not honest.'
"He then said: 'You've done this to us many times before, you're supposed to be professional, you're a disgrace.' He was then ushered out of the room by the West Brom safety officer."
