Home Team:
Bolton Wanderers | Away Team:
ArsenalReferee: Phil Dowd | Linesman: Mark Scholes & Patrick Keane
Decision Type: Penalty | Verdict:
| Decision Difficulty: 2/5Affect on Result: TBD | Winner: Bolton | Loser: Arsenal
Players Involved: Cesc Fabregas (Arsenal) & Jussi Jaaskelainen (Bolton)
Summary: This was one of those incidents where the nature of the foul probably did not warrant a penalty (Fabregas was heading away from goal, was going to struggle to retain the ball & it was only a minor touch by Jaaskelainen) however, if Fabregas gets the ball first, Jaaskelainen slides in and makes contact with him and not the ball (all of which happened), it has to be a penalty. Similar to the Lucas penalty shout for Liverpool yesterday, only Lucas also got booked for diving!
