- REDS vs GUNNERS
 Wenger aghast as 'blatant penalty' is denied Arsene Wenger blasted referee Pieter Vink for turning down an Arsenal penalty claim in tonight's 1-1 Champions League quarter-final draw in the first leg at home to Liverpool. The match was finely balanced in the second period at the Emirates Stadium when Dirk Kuyt appeared to pull back Aleksandr Hleb in the box - only for the Dutch official to wave play on. Arsenal had scored first through an Emmanuel Adebayor header, Kuyt equalising four minutes later in the first half. Gunners boss Wenger believes his side have been denied a clear advantage for next Tuesday's second leg at Anfield. 'There was a blatant penalty,' he said. 'It was not given - and just under the eyes of the referee. This sort of thing has happened to us frequently - and with the referee that close, it should have been given. ' If he is in a bad position we can see why it wasn't given. But he was so close to Kuyt and still didn't give the penalty. It is difficult to understand why it wasn't given.' Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez said: 'I have seen the replay of the penalty appeal. But in England that sort of thing is not given, because it was not clear.' Wenger believes Arsenal deserved to take a lead to Anfield. well, we shall just wait and seeeee. signing off, SUnny FabRegas. |
