Arsenal striker Thierry Henry has spoken out about the circumstances leading to manager Arsène Wenger's twelve-match ban.

"I was swapping insults with an opposing [Sunderland] player [probably Darren Williams], but at a distance and without ever touching him," Henry told the Daily Star.

"The fourth official then came along and pushed me, and Arsène intervened to keep everybody apart.

"I then went to the dressing room, so I wasn't there to see what happened next," Henry said.

"But I'd love to know why the official has not been punished."
