16.1.10

Everton Vs Manchester City | Saha penalty


Description of incident: Saha took a pass in his stride, under close attention from Richards. Entering the Man City area, Saha remained on his feet and in control of the ball when the referee blew for a shirt pull by Richards, penalty Everton.

Date of Game: Saturday 16th January 2010

Home Team: Everton | Away Team: Manchester City

Referee: Andre Marriner | Linesman: David Coote & Richard West

Decision Type: Penalty | Verdict: | Decision Difficulty: 2/5

Affect on Result: N/A | Winner: Everton | Loser: Manchester City

Players Involved: Louis Saha (Everton) & Mica Richards (Man City)

Summary: Richards was quite clearly pulling Saha's shirt. There is the argument that the shirt pulling took place outside the area first of all but I don't think that matters. Advantage was played and then there's subsequent shirt pulling inside the area - penalty, right decision.

Cheers,
