Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas has hit out at Bolton Wanderers after yesterday's win at the Reebok.

"We know every time we come here it's going to be a tough game, very physical, they only look for corners, free kicks and throw-ins," Fabregas told Setanta Sports.

"The tackle on Gael Clichy, I remember last year Abou Diaby was sent off for even less than that.

"But we know we are Arsenal. When we come to the North we know something like that is going to happen, and we have to cope with that.

"Players like Theo, Gael, Eboue, they are quick, they like to run with the ball, and when you make tackles like that it is dangerous.

"We've had a bad example with Eduardo, and we don't want it to happen again because if you look at Clichy's leg it could have been the same.

"We want to play fair football. We showed great character, and even if the referee isn't strong we have shown we will deal with that."
