This is the 3rd still I have seen of this game at a Chelsea corner. In each picture Rice is just acting as a blocker. Back to the ball in every picture and arms totally wrapped sround the player. I think Arteta has taken previous accusations of Arsenal being to soft to heart.
Am I right in thinking that until ball is touched at a corner the ball is dead and so nothing can happen. Refs have not got the bottle to penalise the defender, it always seems the attacker is committing the foul. Maybe it will just take a farcical couple of weeks in all divisions and have...
I saw the highlights and so saw the arsenal foul, but not seen the other one, could it be the theatrical dive to the ground of the Arsenal player that swung it?
