Mainly because Huddlestone pushed the ball onto Bridge's hand with his own hand! I thought Huddlestone's introduction was critical for the way it put Lennon against Belletti, who was the weak link all game. Until then, for all Tottenham's early chances, Chelsea had taken over the game and had even got slightly overconfident. The penalty saved the game from petering out completely and the final goal (which Woodgate knew nothing about) saw the only really concerted attacking passage of the game. Tottenham deserved to win on the balance of chances, but they were gifted the first goal and had little hand in the second, so luck was with them. I found the penalty decision harsh as well.

Not a Chelsea fan! Not a Chelsea fan! Not a Chelsea fan! Not a Chelsea fan! I am NOT a Chelsea fan. I'm a Manc although the number of times I have been told that I am a Chelsea fan has made it hard even for me to know on whose side I am anymore. Steveo, that would be a bit harsh! sending off for deliberate handball? Maybe Zokora should have been booked for that miss. Now THAT was outrageous!! Not a Chelsea fan! Not a Chelsea fan!

Bridge handled the ball twice. Lucky not be sent off for deliberate handball. An “icky” penalty? Bridge handled the ball twice. Lucky not be sent off for deliberate handball.
