In a season where the fitness of referees has been called into question quite publicly, I wanted to highlight referee Walton's position for the Steven Pienaar goal in the Arsenal Vs Everton game. A sweeping counter attack for Everton left almost everyone behind as Pienaar raced through to delicately lob the ball over Almunia. Peter Walton was one of the very few people anywhere near the incident; arriving at the edge of the penalty area as Pienaar finished with aplomb.
It was early enough in the game that you would expect the referee to have plenty of energy however, it was the pace of the attack and the ability of Walton to keep up with play whilst keeping out of the way of all players that impressed me.
Well played Mr Walton.
Cheers,
