Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is furious with Blackburn Rovers tactics in his side’s 2-1 Premier League defeat at Ewood Park.
Robin Van Persie had put the Gunners ahead with his first goal in six months following an injury.
However, David Dunn equalized before half-time and Christopher Sambe popped up for the winner in the second half.
Wenger criticized referee Martin Atkinson and was unhappy with Balckburn’s unsporting tactics.
“There is no purpose to play the ball from the Blackburn players – they don’t even watch the ball,” he said.
“He (Fabianski) had two players in front of him all the time and every time it was to stop him getting the ball.
“In football when you don’t go for the ball and you stop the keeper going for the ball it is a foul.
“I think the referee cannot allow that. I am very disappointed the referee lets that happen in a football game, it is unfair to a goalkeeper.
“They (Blackburn) do it well but when you feel that as a referee you have to give more protection.
“It doesn’t take away the fact we weren’t good but that is completely unfair.”
