Ian Wright labelled Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger’s decision to select David Ospina “a big mistake” after the Gunners slumped to a 3-2 defeat against Olympiacos in the Champions League.

Mourinho even slammed the Frenchman in his pre-match press conference ahead of the tie against Newcastle, suggesting that only one manager in the entire league was not under pressure.
