Cesc Fabregas was the man to spare Arsenal's blushes, threading a pass to Nicklas Bendtner in the Huddersfield box that the Dane ultimately parleyed into a (possibly deserved) penalty by tumbling over Jamie McCombe's challenge. Showing that his personality is a perfect fit for Barcelona by harassing referee Mark Clattenburg for a sending off (just a booking says Clattenburg) and making about eight pauses in his runup, the Arsenal captain eventually sent Ian Bennett the wrong way and hammered the spot kick low and left. 2-1 Arsenal with very little time left in the match, and it looks like Huddersfield will not get the result that their play deserves.
