17.1.10

Bolton Vs Arsenal | Fabregas denied 2nd penalty


Description of incident: Fabregas was wrestling with at least two Bolton defenders. As he shielded the ball, Knight slid in to challenge. The result being Fabregas tumbling inside the penalty area for the second time only for Dowd to rule no penalty for the second time as well.

Date of Game: Sunday 17th January 2010

Home Team: Bolton Wanderers | Away Team: Arsenal

Referee: Phil Dowd | Linesman: Mark Scholes & Patrick Keane

Decision Type: Penalty | Verdict: | Decision Difficulty: 4/5

Affect on Result: TBD | Winner: Bolton | Loser: Arsenal

Players Involved: Cesc Fabregas (Arsenal) & Zat Knight (Bolton)

Summary: For the second time in the game, I feel Fabregas was denied a certain penalty.  This was a harder decision than the first as there was a forest of legs for him to see the incident through and the same was true of the linesman's view. However, once again, if a player decides to slide in, misses the ball and catches the player, it just has to be a penalty.

Cheers,
WB
