http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robin-van-Persie-c31380 didn’t pick up a red card for the way he interacted with Krul at the end of his sides games with Newcastle United.
During the game, Newcastle United went on to take the lead in the game, but Van Persie soon went on to equalise. Just when it looked like the game might end in a draw, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Thomas-Vermaelen-c35002 went on to score the match winning goal, which saw the Gunners pick up
all three points from the game.
However, with Krul trying to waste time during the game, Van Persie went on to get infuriated by the keeper and his actions and gave him a piece of his mind throughout the game. The duo were caught exchanging words throughout the game and at the end of the
match, they had to be separated in order to prevent them from being sent off.
The clash between the two carried on into the tunnel during the half time break and required the managers to intervene and break up the argument between the two.
Talking in the post match interview, Wenger went on to admit that he wasn’t sure why the duo was arguing, but insisted that he was happy that Van Persie didn’t see a red card for his behaviour.
The Gunners boss, when talking about the incident between Van Persie and Krul, is quoted to have said: "I don't know, is it history from Holland? Is it just today's story? I don't know, they both looked a bit nervous. I have not spoken to Robin yet.”
"I will find out but I am happy it stayed yellow and did not become red. He is absolutely committed and he gave everything again tonight.”
"He got us a quick equaliser. But the whole team played very well and [Theo] Walcott also had an exceptional performance tonight."
Despite Van Persie nearly doing something that he would have regretted, it is safe to say that the Arsenal captain is still as passionate about his football, as the day he joined the North London club.
