UEFA have revealed that they will take action against Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger and midfielder Samir Nasri after their outburst over referee Massimo Busacca's decision to send off Dutch striker Robin van Persie.The Frenchmen were left fuming and called the decision to send off Van Persie – for a second bookable offence in the second half for having a shot at goal after the linesman had ruled him offside – "a joke".It was a controversial decision in the eyes of many as the Dutchman claimed he could not hear the whistle over the 90,000 fans packed in the stadium, and took his shot just a second after Busacca blew.Wenger spoke to the referee after the game, a debate which continued heatedly in the tunnel, while Nasri was also caught up in the incident and the European football governing body have decided to take action against the pair.It was also revealed that Van Persie will have no chance to appeal the sending off as it was for a second yellow.A UEFA spokesman said: "Under Article 44.4 of UEFA's disciplinary regulations, appeals are only allowed against cautions on the grounds of mistaken identity."UEFA did confirm that referee Busacca’s performance will be evaluated; however, it will not be for public consumption."Referees are always evaluated," added the spokesman. "There is a referee observer who evaluates their performance."These are taken into account internally in terms of appointments but we never make that public."Source: Goal.com
