Arsenal fought back to draw level against Milan in the first half of the second leg of their UEFA Europa League matchup, but it all happened thanks to a woeful decision by the linesmen.
Both the man behind the goal line and the linesman aided the ref in making that decision, as he remained dubious on whether Danny Welbeck was tripped by Ricardo Rodriguez or if he had taken a dive. Eventually, ref Jonas Eriksson awarded the penalty, which Welbeck transformed into the equalizer.
Have a look at this decision and make up your mind. (Image could be geo-restricted)
"Terrible decision!"

Fans didn't waste the opportunity to blast Welbeck's poor diving skills, demanding justice to be done while trolling the striker.

Welbeck went down in stages and got away with something the authorities won’t address. Embarrassing.

Welbeck dived. He cheated.

If you call out other teams players for diving, you can't ignore your own
Sympathy for the linesman there, who presumably hasn't seen Welbeck play much and thinks to himself, hang on, he wouldn't just fall over his own legs there* for no reason
