Arsenal striker Robin van Persie criticised by Newcastle's Jonas Gutierrez for clash with goalkeeper Tim Krul He was the only Arsenal player who reacted like that. The others were saying to him, 'Calm down, calm down'. When you do that, the fans go crazy as well, so it's no good for the atmosphere of the sport. It didn't help the game - both sets of fans are having a good evening, they're enjoying the game. He made a big mistake. I say well done to Tim for staying calm. In a second, you can lose your mind, but we have to stay focused. I was pleased with Tim. You have to think of the next game and the rest of the season at that moment. It is no good to have a reaction and get a three-game ban or something like that. Van Persie, who had earlier cancelled out Hatem Ben Arfa's opener with his 33rd goal of the season, clashed with goalkeeper Krul on several occasions as the home fans jeered him for what they believed was time-wasting, with Newcastle looking likely to emerge from the game with a hard-earned point. However, the feud escalated after Vermaelen's late strike as players from both sides became involved in an angry confrontation which delayed the restart.
