He was being pulled back, it was clear.
From BBC: lawonthedraw on Twitter: "Feel free to mention the clear free kick that should've been given for on a foul on Andrey Arshavin in the lead-up to the cracking Leeds goal."
You've just done it for me pal, thanks.
It's a contact sport and its hassling for the ball, he simply out-muscled him.
K?
BTW Arshavin has been utterly wank recently
Rafael will be, not at the minute though, and agree with ivanovic best defensively just not tht good going forward
Fabregas and Van Persie on for Chamakh and Arshavin
Good change, would be good to have the insurance of another goal.

RVP banging header. Credit to Bendtner for the beautiful cross.
3-1 and that should be us safe.

Great cross, great header. 
He dived for the penalty that wasn't given. How did he affect the outcome?
The crowd has been fantastic, atomsphere has been incredible, can only imagine what it's like there.
Clichy on for Nasri, well deserved rest.
Being the only Leeds fan online I'll give my view on the game
Main thing to say is well played Arsenal. I was hoping they may be slightly intimidated by the atmosphere of the game but they came out strong. The first goal was very good passing and moving, typical of Arsenal and of a top PL team. Being critical I would agree with Strachan saying that if Johnson had got back it may have been prevented and if Parker wans't so far wide. Also Bruce just missed an interception but good goal Arsenal. 2nd goal I'm disappointed no one charged out to close down Sagna after O Briens clearance but good hit. Then the epic Johnson goal. He hits 9/10 of those efforts into the stands but that one was pure quality. Fantastic strike. I usually don't rate him but he has been very good recently, possibly trying to earn himself either a better contract at Leeds (expires this summer) or get a good team interested. Then we hoofed and poofed but couldn't break Arsenal down. We had half chances but nothing really massive so credit goes to Arsenal there. They played well throughout the game and were worthy winners. Fantastic support all night from the Leeds fans, loved the "itv is ******* ****" chant. The team put in huge amounts of effort and will be sore in the morning, especially Gradel. Schmeical was fantastic as usual and Howson really led by example as captain. Paynter played well in the Becchio role I thought too. Bruce and O'Brien looked solid again (mostly) so will be our 1st choice partnership for the rest of the reason.
Overall disappointed at the loss but Arsenal were the better team.
P.S. The lead up to the goal wasn't a foul i didn't think, Snodgrass (was it him?) was just able to out muscle Arshavin

It's like playing an un exploded bomb.
Fair play to Leeds though, never stopped running. Superior quality prevailed though.
