Mark Clattenburg is one of the best referees the Premier League has to offer

In what is notoriously one of the toughest fixtures of the Premier League season when it comes to refereeing, Mark Clattenburg may not have been hoping to be given a trip to the Emirates after being heavily criticised for his decision to send off Ander Herrera at Old Trafford last weekend.

However, Clattenburg produced a superb display in which he kept both sides under control, and dealt well with the only moment of friction as frustrations boiled over late in the first half.

The decision to award Tottenham a penalty was correct, even if Howard Webb seemed to call it “soft” on BT Sport’s coverage of the game, and it would be very difficult to find fault in the controversial referee’s performance today.
