I read somewhere that after Rooney's tumble against Arsenal at OT earlier this year, the ref's were told not to award penalties when the player punts the ball away and then runs deliberately into a challenge, i.e aren't playing the ball but are playing for a foul. Now, based on that� you would have to say it was a fair call.
Based on I read somewhere?
. Definitely was a penalty. Really two mistakes by Glen Johnson for the two goals. Arsharvin shots seem to be hit perfectly every time he steps on Anfield. Arsenal are pants, with exception of Vermaelen who was a beast at the back. Generally looked good all-round, Lucas looked comfortable, Agger was good. Benayoun was pretty poor though and Aquilani didn't seem to fit in the formation when he came on.
Fixed.
