Christian Norgaard Tackle against Gabriel Martinelli could have broken my leg, says Arsenal winger | Football messages

Arsenal Gabriel Martinelli’s wing player said Brentford captain Christian Norgaard could have broken my leg with his duel in the first half – and the midfielder should have been sent because of an “evil” challenge.

Norgaard brought the Arsenal winged player in the first half with a falling duel, much to the riot of home fans in the Emirates stage.

Gunner’s boss Mikel Areteta protested with the fourth official and the Brentford bank when referee Simon Hooper swung a yellow card, with Var not upgrading the decision.

“I didn’t see that again, but at the moment when my foot was on the floor, he could break my leg,” said Martinelli Sky Sport After the 1: 1.

“He (Norgaard) said he didn’t mean it. I believe him, but he could still have broken my leg. For me it was red. I have to see it again to be safe. But for me it was angry.”

Asked for the tackle after his team pulled 1-1 with Brentford, Areteta replied Sky Sports: “My reaction says it all.” In the meantime, Brentford boss Thomas Frank added: “That is his opinion. I found it a strong yellow.”

It is the second referee decision of the Premier League, which was annoyed by the decision in a place of seven days to award Everton a penalty for a “gentle” foul on Myles Lewis-Skelly in 1-1 difference in Goodison Park.

“In my opinion there is no way, that’s a punishment,” said Areteta after this game, while Ref Watchs Dermot Gallagher agreed that the spot kick should not have been given.

Redknapp: I was injured by this duel, but it is not red

Sky Sports’ Jamie Redknapp:

“You rarely see a red card for this, but it is not a great tackle and one that the players can hurt.

“I have a very bad injury to someone who does exactly the same tackle on me because they caught their leg and twist their knees. That has never been a red card, so we can’t ask for them now.

“Mikel Areta should be more frustrated that his team does not win the game than over the tackle. It seems as if he believes that there is a conspiracy against him and his team – there is no like that.

“It is a tackle that we have to look at in the long term. The reason why I said it was not red because it was never given as a red card, but it is really dangerous.

“If you attack scissors, you risk the knees and ankles that are caught among them, I had to operate after an operation.

“It is an evil tackle. An old -fashioned tackle. Some duels have been eradicated from the game, but this has not yet been on a red card.

“I don’t like that. It is a pure despair.

“He is not a bad player. I don’t see it that way to name a red card or a bad tackle. But Martinelli is lucky because it is a six -month injury with such.”
