Arsene Wenger has refused to criticise Shkodran Mustafi's role in Manchester City's opening goal after a 3-0 loss in Sunday's Carabao Cup final at Wembley.
Vincent Kompany and David Silva scored after the interval to give Pep Guardiola his first trophy in England.
"He thought [so] yes," Wenger said if Mustafi had reported a push.
"I don't know, I haven't seen it again. From the outside, the push was not obvious. I don't know, was he pushed or not but he thought [so]. He expected the free-kick, yes.
"It's difficult for me to go into individual criticism after the game like that.
"You want to go home and analyse the game and individual criticism doesn't matter too much, we have to focus on our next game."

Arsenal will welcome Manchester City again to the Emirates in the league on next.
"It doesn't help because they will be on a high and we have to recover from disappointment," he said. "So, they have the advantage."
