Sometimes Spendy puts his finger right on it, like a shaft of sunlight on a cloudy day.
I've seen it now. United did not play well.
Arsenal had about six reasonable chances to score in the first half alone, should have gone in about 2-0 or 3-0 at half time.
Adebayor thought Van de Saar was going to clatter him, that's why his hands were raised for the goal, but I think it went in off his head.
Gallas was trying to get his arm out of the way, unlucky for the penalty.
The free kick given for Hargreaves to score was not a foul at all, just an unfortunate collision but Tevez went down as if he had been sandbagged.
But a bad place to make a clumsy challenge.
All in all, unlucky Arsenal.
