Wayne Rooney appears to have got away with a cheeky kick during Man United's win over Arsenal.
Plenty was spoken about after Manchester United beat Arsenal 1-0 on Monday night in the Premier League.
Arsenal's inability to beat their top four rivals was again highlighted. Park Ji-Sung's endeavour was lauded. Anderson was picked out for a solid game in the middle of the park for United. While Wayne Rooney's missed penalty was thumbed over too.
Yet one incident that was missed by all came in the final seconds of the match.

Unprovoked, off-the-ball and completely unnecessary, Wayne Rooney kicked out at Arsenal forward Marouane Chamakh as the final seconds of injury time ran down as the Gunners looked to launch a last-gasp counter-attack. It was petulance personified as Rooney, suffering a bad run of form, eyed up the Moroccan forward before knocking the striker's trailing leg and forcing the Gunners' number 29 to eat grass.
Rooney was a lucky boy that no one, particularly ref Howard Webb, seemed to notice his infringement.
