Fulham boss Jol says Arshavin deliberately set up spotkick

Fulham boss Martin Jol believes Arsenal midfielder Andrey Arshavin deliberately won their late penalty.

Mikel Arteta failed to convert the spotkick as the game ended 3-3.

Jol bizarrely claimed Arshavin AIMED his cross at Sascha Riether's hand to win the penalty.

Jol said: "He did it on purpose. The ref was pleased not to see it go in.

"If you get a point and they miss a penalty, you have to be happy."
