Ronald Koeman was involved in a row with Arsene Wenger in the tunnel after Saints’ goalless draw with Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.

Wenger was attempting to confront referee Lee Mason to complain about what he saw as a host of bad decisions from the official.

Daily Echo:

The Gunners boss is reported to have told Mason: “It’s always the same with you.”

Koeman was also in the tunnel at the time and is said to have told Wenger: “It’s always the same with you.”

He is understood to have gone on to point out that Arsenal had a host of chances in the game, and that it was not Mason’s fault that they failed to take any of them as the game ended in a goalless draw.

The pair have a bit of history after also disagreeing over the performance of referee Jon Moss when the sides met on Boxing Day.

Saints won the game 4-0 but in his post-match press conference, Wenger said: “The second aspect is that on the first three goals we were really unlucky with the decision of the referee.

"The first goal was offside, the second goal was a foul and third goal was a goal-kick, so if you're a bit below par and on top of that you have the first three goals against you in the decision-making then it's even more difficult.

"On top of that, well done Southampton and I hope in the next game we have this kind of decisions for us.”

Wenger’s comments were put to Koeman who replied: “Only the first three? He didn't say anything about the fourth goal? That's strange.

"I like to analyse the game and if you lose 4-0 and you talk about the referee it's not my way to analyse a football game."
