Jack Wilshere ‘can’t accept’ three key decisions during Arsenal‘s EFL Cup final defeat in stunning attack

Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere has launched a stunning attack on the decision made during the 3-0 EFL Cup final defeat by Manchester City on Sunday, claiming that both Sergio Aguero’s and Vincent Kompany’s goals should have been ruled out and that Fernandinho should have been sent-off.

Referee Craig Pawson drew criticism from Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger after the Wembley humbling, along with the rest of his match-day officials and also the Video Assistant Referee.

Echoing his manager’s thoughts, Wilshere posted on Instagram on Monday evening to express his frustration with some of the decision in the match and claim that he “can’t accept” them.

“Hard to put into words my emotions about yesterday,” the England international wrote. “City are a good team and deserved to win yesterday. A lot of people have had their say on us and we have to accept criticism when we lose.

“That being said I can’t accept some of the decisions that went against us yesterday. Whatever you say about the first goal, it’s a foul. The second goal is offside. There should have been a second yellow in the first half.

“Yes this happens in football but it’s still hard to accept. And people will say we are looking for excuses but these are facts. Anyway we need to respond, starting on Thursday. Thanks to all the Gooners for your support and trust me we feel the same but we need to stick together.”
