Hull City Vs Wolverhampton | Altidore fouled by Zubar for penalty

Description of incident: Altidore was shielding the ball from Zubar inside the Wolves penalty area and the two players came together. Altidore tumbled and the referee gave a penalty to Hull.

Date of Game: Saturday 30th January 2010

Home Team: Hull City | Away Team: Wolverhampton Wanderers

Referee: Mike Dean | Linesman: Peter Kirkup & Michael Murphy

Decision Type: Penalty | Verdict: | Decision Difficulty: 3/5

Affect on Result: N/A | Winner: Hull City | Loser: Wolverhampton Wanderers

Players Involved: Jozy Altidore (Hull City) & Ronald Zubar (Wolves)

Summary: I've seen a lot of these types of challenges result in the ref waving play on as it's not your "conventional" foul. By that I mean that it was a really clumsy challenge by Zubar as he basically bundled his way through Altidore and although he didn't actually stretch out a leg to bring the striker down, it was the right decision to award the penalty.
