Fabregas Tweets a moan about the inconsistency of referees

Cesc Fabregas reckons Arsenal were denied a stonewall penalty against Wigan on Wednesday night, and to further incur his ire the Spaniard claims he was penalised for the same offence against Tottenham. Referee Lee Probert refusing to penalise Wigan's James McArthur when Samir Nasri's last minute free-kick clearly hit his hands in the 2-2 draw.

Tweeting on his Twitter account: "What's the difference between this handball and my one versus Spurs? Referees don't want us to complain about them but they make life difficult for themselves.

"I'm not complaining at all, I'm just saying why on the same thing some refs say it's a penalty and some not. Is it a rule or just what they feel?"

Gunners boss Arsene Wenger simply said: "I personally did not see it but Nasri is adamant it was a 100% penalty."
