30 December 2010 16:06
Cesc Fabregas has hit out at inconsistency among referees, insisting that Arsenal were denied a last-gasp penalty at Wigan for an identical offence to the handball he committed against Tottenham earlier this season. [LNB]The Gunners were held to a disappointing 2-2 draw at the DW Stadium on Wednesday night but were denied a last-minute penalty when Samir Nasri's freekick appeared to strike the hand of James McArthur in the Latics' defensive wall, only for  referee Lee Probert to wave away Arsenal's protests. [LNB]Fabregas, who missed the match through suspension, was penalised for handball in the 3-2 defeat at home to Spurs when he too was struck on the arm by the ball when in a defensive wall at a free-kick.

Referees don't want us to complain about them but they make life difficult for themselves.[LNB] 'I'm not complaining at all, I'm just saying why on the same thing some refs say it's a penalty and some not. Is it a rule or just what they feel?' [LNB]Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger also felt his side should have won the spot-kick, saying: 'I personally did not see it but Nasri is adamant it was a 100 per cent penalty.'  [LNB] Handball: Cesc Fabregas gave away a penalty against Spurs for this offence[LNB] Jose Mourinho joins the chase for Cesc Fabregas by launching £35m swoop for Arsenal's captainWenger defends wholesale Arsenal changes after slip-up at WiganWigan 2 Arsenal 2: Gunners title hopes dented by 10-man LacticsArsenal kid Nordtveit completes switch to struggling MonchengladbachARSENAL FC
