UEFA have confirmed that Arsenal striker, Danny Welbeck, will not face any retrospective action for an alleged dive during their 3-1 win against AC Milan on Thursday.
Welbeck went down after a challenge from left-back, Ricardo
Rodriguez to win a penalty and eventually converted same to make it
1-1.
The England man scored again as the
Gunners won 3-1 on the night and 5-1 on aggregate, to ensure the club’s
place in the quarter-finals of the Europa League.
It is understood UEFA’s disciplinary body has been reviewing incidents from Thursday’s Europa League matches.
“I haven’t seen it again. I will watch it
again and give my honest feeling about it. Iwill give him my honest
feeling about it as well [if I view it as a dive], don’t worry.
“There are two things: was it a penalty
or not? I don’t know. The Italian players were unhappy with it. I can
understand that, because I don’t really know what it was,” manager
Arsene Wenger said after the match.
Arsenal will take on Russian Club, CSKA Moscow in the quarter-final.
The first leg comes up at the Emirates on April 5.
