The Gunners boss is facing a potential three-match ban after appearing to shove fourth official Anthony Taylor at the end of his side’s win over Burnley on Sunday, but does not believe he needs to work on his temper.

‘I’ve been in England for 20 years, I __have seen a lot on the bench, as you certainly know.

‘I think if I am, after 34 years, still in the job it is because I am big enough to stand up for what I do.

‘And I’m big enough to know when I do well and when I do not do well. When I don’t behave like I think I should behave, I’m big enough say “Yes, that’s not right”, and that’s it.’
