Sterling won a penalty after tangling up with Nacho Monreal and Wenger disagreed with the decision.
Wenger said: “I believe it was no penalty. We know that Raheem Sterling dives well, he does that very well.
“And the third goal was offside. I am very upset because at 2-1 we were in the game.”
He added: "You can accept it if City win in a normal way, they are a good side, but the way it happened is unacceptable."

But it is thought Wenger will not be reprimanded for the comments after being adjudged to not have overstepped the mark.
Wenger was critical of referee Michael Oliver’s performance and believes the Premier League leaders always get decisions their way.

Wenger said: "I would say overall the referee made the decision today, with the soft penalty and the offside goal.
“But we are used to it when coming here, last year they had two offside goals, and once again."
