Emmanuel Adebayor has hit out at Alvaro Arbeloa for helping him get sent off at the Emirates yesterday.

The Arsenal striker was shown red for a second bookable offence when he raised his foot and elbow against Arbeloa and his manager Arsene Wenger says the game would probably have been won had they had 11 men on the pitch.

Adebayor said: "The defender threw himself on the floor as if I put a knife in him. I hope when the referee goes home and watches it on the TV, he will see it was a foul but I didn't deserve a card.

"Of course I'm annoyed. I cannot say he cheated but what he did wasn't fair play at all.

"It was a mistake by the ref. He said it was for the leg but if I don't put my body in there I would never score a goal in this league"

Arsene Wenger added: "I am convinced we would have won with 11 players. We took control with 10 men, but imagine what it would have been like with 11?"

To me it was a harsh sending off after seeing the replays... But i don't agree that Arbeloa is a cheat... He was fouled and has the right to go on the ground, the rest is the appreciation of the referee to book Adebayor or not...

Guess we were all surprised with the red card... and even more surprised to see that after the sending off, the 10 men Arsenal were dominating us...

He went to ground too easily. But the Arsenal player should have kept his hands down.
