Ban 'diving' Eduardo, says Donati
Hoops midfielder Donati wants UEFA to act retrospectively to punish Eduardo, who appeared to throw himself to the ground to win a penalty in the Gunners' 3-1 second-leg win on Wednesday night.[LNB]Donati believes Eduardo should be treated the same way as Lithuania striker Saulius Mikoliunas, who cheated to earn a spot-kick against Scotland at Hampden Park in September 2007.[LNB]Video evidence was used by UEFA to punish Mikoliunas, who was given a two-match ban.[LNB]"If it is clear on TV, then UEFA must act against Eduardo and ban him," said Donati.[LNB]"I think he should get a two-match ban because it wasn't a penalty. I told him that and everyone in the Celtic team told him that."[LNB]Wednesday night's game was still 0-0 at the time, though Arsenal held a 2-0 advantage from the first leg.[LNB]Gunners boss Arsene Wenger acknowledged Celtic goalkeeper Artur Boruc did not bring down Eduardo in the penalty incident but claimed his forward was taking evasive action.[LNB]Celtic defender Glenn Loovens was in no doubt Eduardo had dived.[LNB]"I don't think he even speaks English so there was no point talking to him," Loovens added.[LNB]"It is very disappointing but that is football. It's sad it happened to us.[LNB]"I don't think it is really fair. But it helped his team take the lead.[LNB]"There is a referee and a linesman to see those kind of things."[LNB][LNB]
