Description of incident: The move that led to Arsenal's second goal, scored by Fabregas, started with a Gallas tackle on Davies. The ref was only yards away from the tackle and allowed play to continue.
Date of Game: Wednesday 20th January 2010
Home Team:
Arsenal | Away Team:
Bolton WanderersReferee: Mark Clattenburg | Linesman: Mick McDonough & John Flynn
Decision Type: Free kick | Verdict:
| Decision Difficulty: 2/5Affect on Result: I have the feeling Arsenal would have come back anyway but this made sure | Winner: Arsenal | Loser: Bolton
Players Involved: William Gallas, Cesc Fabregas (Arsenal) & Mark Davies (Bolton)
Summary: The only positive I can provide from the referee's point of view is that his position was fantastic. But that just makes it all the more shocking that he managed to miss this foul. Not only was it a foul, it ended Davies' participation in the game. I'm not saying there was any intention to hurt Davies by Gallas but it was a stomping challenge with his studs landing on Davies' ankle. Wrong decision, free kick missed.
Cheers,
