Arsenal and Bayern Munich Slapped with UEFA Fines after Champions League Clash


Both clubs have been punished by European football’s governing body in the aftermath of the Gunners’ 5-1 loss to the Bavarians in March.
A brief hitch during the heated match
 
Arsenal and Bayern Munich have been fined by UEFA following the Champions League clash between the two at the start of March.
 
The Gunners, already trailing 5-1 from the first leg in Germany, suffered another loss by the same deficit at the Emirates Stadium on 7 March, bowing out of Europe’s elite club competition at the last-16 stage.
 
And both clubs have since been punished by European football’s governing body in relation to two separate incidents.
 
Arsenal have been fined €5,000 by UEFA after a number of supporters invaded the pitch, while Bayern have been slapped with a €3,000 fine in relation to objects being thrown by fans.
 
Arsene Wenger’s men opened the scoring thanks to Theo Walcott but the game was turned on its head after Laurent Koscielny was sent off for giving away a penalty.
 
Robert Lewandowski converted the spot-kick before Arjen Robben, Douglas Costa and two goals from Arturo Vidal consigned Arsenal to an embarrassing Champions League defeat.
 
Arsenal have struggled to recover since, downing non-league Lincoln City 5-0 in the FA Cup quarter-finals before losing 3-1 to West Brom in the Premier League.
 
A recent run of bad results has fuelled speculation surrounding Wenger’s future, with a section of Arsenal’s fan base taking to protesting in favour of the Frenchman’s departure at the end of the season.
 
Wenger revealed after the West Brom match that he has made a decision on his future, though no official confirmation has been released

Trouble for John Dumelo as Ghanaian Actor was Allegedly Caught With Missing Government Cars (Photos)




Multi-award winning Ghanaian actor, John Dumelo, has allegedly been caught with two state vehicles as the actor has already given one of the cars to his girlfriend.Multi-award winning Ghanaian actor, John Dumelo, has allegedly been caught with two state vehicles as the actor has already given one of the cars to his girlfriend.

  • According to an exclusive report by Daily Guide, the Ghanaian National Security operatives have caught popular movie actor, John Dumelo with a vehicle belonging to the state and retrieved it from a spraying shop.
Dumelo was allegedly attempting to conceal the identity of the black V8 Toyota Land Cruiser with registration GE 8118 –16 when the operatives pounced on it at a garage at Abelemkpe in Accra where it had purportedly been sent for re-spraying.
The vehicle, with chassis number JTMHVOJ2F4159829, 2015 model with full option, has been parked at the Office of the President Annex for almost one month.
When the operatives invited him to the garage, he reportedly panicked before surrendering the expensive vehicle without any protest.
The operatives, upon a tip-off, swooped on the garage a couple of weeks ago and got hold of the auto mechanic who told them that the vehicle belonged to John Dumelo.
He was then telephoned to come to the garage and upon arrival, he’s reported to have first said that he bought the V8 from a car dealer, Svani Company Limited, and claimed he was yet to complete the payment.
The operatives then keyed in the chassis number into a centralized computer system but the results showed that the vehicle was registered in the name of the National Security Secretariat which is a property of the Government of Ghana.
Sensing he was getting into trouble, he’s reported to have quickly changed his story, claiming that it was former First Lady Lordina Mahama who had given the V8 to him.
The security operatives immediately decided to crosscheck from the First Lady to ascertain the facts but the actor (Dumelo) reportedly pleaded with them to stop and just take the vehicle away.
The operatives’ checks at Svani Motors along the Spintex Road indicated that the company imported the vehicle for the National Security Council Secretariat and that the company is one of the several auto dealers used by the government to import vehicles for the state.
When the security personnel got to the garage, the vehicle had been dismantled and was going through re-modeling, including re-spraying – with parts allegedly imported from Dubai.
John Dumelo was said to have brought some spare parts from Dubai to enhance the looks of the vehicle.
Sources say he reportedly got two V8s from the NDC government, with his girlfriend driving one of them. When he was asked to direct the operatives to the whereabouts of the other vehicle, he pleaded with them to allow him to travel to London and return to produce it.
According to sources, Dumelo had released the other V8 which is believed to be ash in colour to his girlfriend who is currently using it. He told the operatives that he was going to return it after the girlfriend had returned from a trip she had used it for. 
When Dumelo was reached via telephone for his comments yesterday, John Dumelo said, “I wouldn’t like to comment about it.
