Fulham boss Jol scoffs at Wenger claims over Frei substitution

Fulham boss Martin Jol scoffed at Arsenal rival Arsene Wenger's claims over Johan Djourou's dismissal.

Wenger declared Jol's decision to throw on Kerim Frei was to get Djourou sent off.

Jol laughed off Wenger's comments.

"Maybe he could accuse me of trying to do something, but I don't think players can do that," he said. "The only thing I did was put Kerim Frei on the flank and he is an exciting player.

"He wanted to go one-v-one all the time and that was probably the problem for Djourou.

"He probably could have had a second booking before that, to be fair."
