Mistäköhän mahtaa olla kyse?
Pires ja Henry yrittivät tehdä Cruyffit ja Olsenit eli syöttää rangaistunpotkun toiselle, syöttö takaisin ja pallo maaliin.
"But Pires then wasted a second penalty after bizarrely attempting to set up Henry and conceding a free-kick.
Darius Vassell almost made Arsenal pay but had a goal disallowed for offside.
The decision looked marginal, and Arsenal's relief was obvious, after Vassell's header from Joey Barton's cross was ruled out.
It was a real let-off for Arsenal, given Pires' absurd second spot-kick, awarded after Dennis Bergkamp had been felled by Stephen Jordan.
It appeared the Frenchman tried to roll the ball forwards and to his left to allow Henry to run in and execute the finish.
That is entirely legal as long as:
the ball moves forward
the penalty taker does not kick the ball a second time until the ball is touched by another player.
And it has been done successfully before, when in the 1982-83 season, Ajax's Johan Cruyff exchanged passes with team-mate Jesper Olsen before scoring.
However, Pires scuffed his attempted pass and City were given a free-kick. "
