As Poch fiddled with his hood in South London's pouring rain, the elastic string pinged back and struck him on the side of the face.
Poch regularly seeks the second opinion of his right-hand man Jesus Perez but this time the question in the dugout was a little different as he showed the cut.
Former Arsenal boss Wenger became as famous for coat complications as he did for being an invincible.

Juan Foyth scored the only goal of the game to settle the London derby.
The Argentinian defender, who gave away two penalties on his top-flight debut for Spurs at Wolves last week, was the hero this time as he bagged a 63rd minute winner.
He reacted first to head the ball in from close range after Luka Milivojevic had blocked Harry Kane's header from an Erik Lamela corner.
Victory keeps Tottenham in fourth, level on points with Liverpool and Chelsea and two points behind Manchester City - all of whom play tomorrow.
