End of the day, he put his hands on an official in aggression, which is violent conduct.Amongst all of the bad refereeing in the Premier League this season, it's great to see a young ref (from Northumberland ), come through and put most of the rest to shame. Think the rest of the referees need to sit down and watch his performance tonight, I know every time I've seen him he's been very fair as you say, and gets most of the big calls correct.
I thought the game itself was a really good end to end game of football. One of the best I've seen this season, and it's set us up with a good semi final draw. Potential for an Arsenal v Liverpool final too.
Would love to see an Arsenal - Liverpool final, have a sneaky feeling Villa might beat Blackburn/ Liverpool though
