PEMAIN lapangan tengah Tottenham, Nacer Chadli mendapat kartu kuning bukan lantaran mengganjal pemain Arsenal dalam derby London utara, lantaran memprovokasi pendukung Arsenal di tribun penonton seraya memegang telinga kanannya setelah mencetak gol.
Pesepakbola internasional Belgia ini menempatkan klub tamu unggul di menit ke-56 setelah menerima umpan dari Lamela di sisi kanan kotak penalti, kemudian Chadili mengincar sudut yang tak bisa dijangkau kiper Wojciech Szczesny.
Penonton di stadion Emirates tertegun dan Chadli yang sedang kegirangan berlari mendekati tribun yagn dipenuhi pendukung Arsenal seraya menggerakkan cupping telinganya kepada pendukung Arsenal pada Sabtu.
Dia mungkin berniat membungkam pendukung Arsenal di Emirates namun wasit Michael Oliver tidak mau tahu dan mengacungkan kartu kuning untuk Chadli yang tampak kebingungan.
Bek Everton Luke Garbutt lalu nge-tweeted: "Apakah Chadli benar dapat kartu kuning hanya karena menggerakkan cuping telinganya, padahal itu sudah biasa! #patheticbooking.'
Komentator Sky Sports Matt Le Tissier menilai: "Apakah Chadli pantas dapat kartu kuning gara-gara cuping telinganya kepada pendukung lawan?? Kalau benar, wasitnya benar-benar memalukan sepak bola #getagrip sepak bola'
Mantan striker Jason Roberts menambahkan: 'Tahan dulu.. Chadli dapat kartu kuning cuma gara-gara gerakan cuping telinganya ke penonton..... ??
'OK.. ini konfirmasinya... itu ulah MEMALUKAN!! KONYOL ... kartu kuning itu harusnya dibatalkan..dan wasitnya yang mestinya dapat kartu merah..
Beberapa jam sebelumnya, gelandang Liverpool Steven Gerrard merayakan golnya di derby Merseyside melawan Everton dengan cara yang sama tapi dia tidak mendapat kartu kuning dari wasit.
PLAYERS, pundits and fans leapt to the defence of Nacer Chadli after the Tottenham midfielder was booked for celebrating his goal by cupping his ear to rival fans in the north London derby.
The Belgium put the visitors ahead in the 56th minute when he raced clear and fired a shot past the outstretched hand of Arsenal keeper Wojciech Szczesny.
The Emirates was stunned and ecstatic Chadli ran way and celebrated by cupping his ear to the home support on Saturday.
He might have silenced the Emirates but referee Michael Oliver was having none of it and brandished a yellow card to a bemused Chadli.
Everton defender Luke Garbutt tweeted: 'Have i really just seen chadli get booked for that what is the game coming too ! #patheticbooking.'
Sky Sports pundit Matt Le Tissier said: 'Did chadli really get booked for cupping his ear to the crowd?? If so the referee is an embarrassment to football #getagrip'
Former striker Jason Roberts added: 'Hold on..did Chadli get booked for cupping his ear to the Crowd.....??
'Ok..it's confirmed..that is a DISGRACE!! RIDICULOUS...that card should be rescinded..and the Ref should get a straight Red..
Hours earlier, Liverpool midfielder Steven Gerrard had celebrated his goal in the Merseyside derby against Everton in similar fashion but he did not receive a booking.
