How did you come to that conclusion? Looking at the replay for the first time, the contact is minimal at most (which would warrant a penalty). But for me Chris Eagles has dived. For a start, he didn't appeal, and secondly... This is where either contact was made or where Eagles faked contact - ![]() Look at Eagle's left foot, his heel is firmly on the ground, meaning his knee isn't far from his toes (horizontally).. Then look at the position of Essien's right leg, clearly nearer the edge of the box than his left leg, meaning Essien's left knee is even further away from eagle's left knee than Essien's right knee is... Now taking those distances into account, it would appear it's unlikely that Eagle's knee made any contact with Essien whatsoever. No pen. |

I remember this incident and I dont think the contact was enough to make Eagles fall so no penalty. There was contact though Scholes, I vividly remember another camera angle showing Eagles making the run towards the camera and there is a slight nick on Eagles' kneecap as he makes the stride forward. But not a penalty. |
