Description of incident: With the score still at nil-nil, Rooney swiveled with the ball inside the Portsmouth area. The turn blocked off Piquionne's approach and Rooney went tumbling over the ball when Frenchman reached him. The ref waved play on despite Rooney's appeal.
Date of Game: Saturday 6th February 2010
Home Team:
Manchester United | Away Team:
PortsmouthReferee: Lee Mason | Linesman: Jake Collin & Paul Thompson
Decision Type: Penalty | Verdict:
| Decision Difficulty: 4/5Affect on Result: None | Winner: Portsmouth | Loser: Manchester United
Players Involved: Wayne Rooney (Man Utd) & Frederic Piquionne (Porstmouth)
Summary: It was a wonderful turn by Rooney, confusing everyone around him. At first glance it looked as though Piquionne had maybe applied the brakes too late and giving a penalty would have been harsh however, video replays clearly show that he pushed the United striker in the back. The ref got this one wrong, although it had no affect on the result, it should have been a penalty.
