Description of incident: Defoe controlled the ball just inside the Villa area and Petrov came in from the side to challenge. Defoe went crashing to the floor and the ref, clearly struggling to see the incident clearly, waved play on despite the loud appeals.
Date of Game: Saturday 6th February 2010
Home Team:
Tottenham | Away Team:
Aston VillaReferee: Chris Foy | Linesman: Phil Sharp & Martin Yerby
Decision Type: Penalty | Verdict:
| Decision Difficulty: 2/5Affect on Result: Arguably denied Tottenham a vital victory | Winner: Aston Villa | Loser: Tottenham
Players Involved: Martin Petrov (Aston Villa) & Jemain Defoe (Tottenham)
Summary: The referee was bending and stretching to see the incident around a crowd of players. He clearly failed as this was a blatant penalty; Petrov took Defoe's leg away. If he saw it, he would have come to the same conclusion. Either way, wrong decision, the penalty should have been given.
