As an unbiased observer I would like to say that the better side won. There were two contentious issues for me. Firstly, Chelsea were denied a clear penalty when Anelka was rugby tackled in the box. Secondly, I would have allowed the Arsenal goal. If a high foot on its own is cause for a free kick, then nobody would ever score from an overhead bicycle kick; therefore there must be an element of dangerous play involved; I did not think that there was any danger to the goalie ( of course, I am of the old school where it was perfectly acceptable to put the goalie along with the ball in the back of the net - Oh for the good old days).
