Arsenal slipped to a 1-0 defeat away to Stoke yesterday, with Jese proving to be the difference between the two sides.
Alexandre Lacazette looked to have supplied an equaliser, but his effort was flagged up for offside when replays suggested he was level with the defence.
And Wenger admitted it was a hard decision to swallow.
“Even his foot was not offside. We have to swallow that and we should have scored despite that,” Wenger said.
“I think it’s just another detail that didn’t go our way.
