Man City boss Pellegrini furious with Arsenal point: We deserved to win

Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini turned on ref Mark Clattenburg after their 2-2 draw at Arsenal. Pellegrini believes that neither Jack Wilshere nor Alexis Sanchez's strikes should have been allowed, while he also thinks Wilshere should have been penalised after he felt the England international handled in the box.

"I think it was a great game, two very good teams which try to play, both teams are very creative," Pellegrini told BT Sport.

"Today both goals by Arsenal were very clear fouls, the first one, two or three continuous fouls and the second one Welbeck on Vincent.

"Wilshere had two hands in front of the linesman and it is a clear penalty, so in that case I must be very happy with the draw.

"We have more possession and more chances than Arsenal."

Clattenburg was the referee when City lost in controversial circumstances against Liverpool last season, when Pellegrini felt Martin Skrtel handled for the Reds' second goal.

"I think we have very difficult decisions, today was unbelievable," Pellegrini added.

"He (Clattenburg) had a very bad day today in the same way he had a bad day against Liverpool last year."
