Arsene Wenger has been foiled once again by a familiar foe - the zip on his coat.

The Arsenal manager has had well documented struggles doing up his coat over the years and like some of the other club's problems, he appears slightly powerless to overcome them.

Amid much fanfare, Puma, who took over as Arsenal's kit supplier this season,claimed to have ended Wenger's zip war with a newly designed jacket.

However bold claims from the German company that they had "studied Wenger’s on-bench behaviour, his hands, and the pace of his zipping" have come back to bite them, with Arsenal's manager smarting after losing out once again to his zippy nemesis.

Looks like it's back to the drawing board for Puma...
