Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny could face UEFA action over offensive gesture

Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny could face disciplinary action from UEFA after appearing to make an obscene gesture following his dismissal against Bayern Munich.

The 23-year-old Polish stopper goalkeeper was red-carded after 37 minutes for wiping Arjen Robben out in the penalty area.


After the red card, Szczesny, who was replaced by Lukasz Fabianski, appeared to make an obscene gesture before walking down the tunnel to the changing rooms.

Szczesny's red card is the 100th chalked up by an Arsenal player during the Arsene Wenger era, which began in 1996.

Patrick Vieira tops the list with 10 dismissals, with Martin Keown in second with seven red cards and six players, Dennis Bergkamp, Gilles Grimandi, Laurent Koscielny, Ray Parlour, Emmanuel Petit and Robin van Persie, sitting third with four sendings-off each.
