Manchester United, of course, are pushing up higher after conceding, and their pressure pays off when Alex Song is booked for protesting/not giving the ball back after fouling Wayne Rooney. There's a bit of handbags as each team decides to get involved, but the mess eventually sorts itself out and no further cards are issued. No further cards, that is, until Park Ji-Sung rakes his studs down Bacary Sagna's shin and sends the defender down in agony. Does he not wear shin pads? Chris Foy shows the Korean yellow too, which won't really improve United's collective mood.
Arsenal Vs. Manchester United: Johan Djourou Injury Forces Another Substitution
And neither will having a penalty appeal turned down, for that matter, Patrice Evra breaking into the box only to go down under a challenge from Theo Walcott. He claims for a foul and then a handball, and gets a corner. Nothing comes of it except an injury to Johan Djourou after the centre back went up for a challenge with Nemanja Vidic, which forces the Swiss international's substitution. On comes Sebastien Squillaci, which will make for a nervous finish for the Gunners.
