No. It was downgraded to nothing at all. Which made it even more outrageous.

Van Persie won't get away with that. I don't think Arsenal will bother appealing.

He waved his 'Ingerlund Captain FA Immunity card'. Van Persie doesn't have one of them.

I think he gave the penalty more as Rio and the Hull players legs tangled up and it may of looked like a trip to the ref, IMO
