West Ham striker Marlon Harewood came off the bench to score a
late winner against Arsenal as tempers frayed at Upton Park where
rival managers Alan Pardew and Arsene Wenger were involved in a
shoving match on the touchline.
But when a draw appeared likely, Harewood finished from close
range. The striker was booked for taking his shirt off as he
celebrated, while on the touchline Wenger took exception to
Pardew's celebrations and pushed him away bfore refusing to shake
hands after the final whistle.
The unseemly episode continues the feud between the rival bosses,
with Wenger accusing his Hammers counterpart of racism last season
following Pardew's comments about the number of foreign players in
Arsenal's squad.
