Twitter fumes at Martin Atkinson as Arsenal seal crucial victory

Result aside, Martin Atkinson was at the centre of plenty of the action as Leicester City faced Arsenal.

Having awarded Jamie Vardy the penalty which put Leicester in front before half-time, plenty of Arsenal supporters were furious. Some felt their team should have been given a free-kick before Vardy won the spot-kick. Others (somehow) doubted whether Nacho Monreal's challenge on the Leicester striker was even worthy of a penalty. https://twitter.com/FansofArsenal2/status/698851731338350592?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw Leicester's hopes of maintaining their lead were dented when Danny Simpson picked up his second yellow card. Although his second foul was deemed needless by some, it appeared that a second yellow was slightly harsh. https://twitter.com/danwhitepr/status/698858009766797312 And with 20 minutes to go, Arsenal found an equaliser through Theo Walcott.
