Former Real Madrid defender Alvaro Arbeloa has publicly alleged that match officials favored Manchester United during their recent fixture against Fulham. Arbeloa claimed that referees were influenced by the perceived injustice Manchester United experienced during their previous match against Manchester City, suggesting this led to a bias in favor of the team during the Fulham game.
The accusations center on the officiating standards in the Premier League, specifically regarding the impact of prior match controversies on subsequent refereeing decisions. By attributing the officiating performance to a reaction against a previous weekend's events, Arbeloa has raised questions regarding the impartiality of match officials in high-profile fixtures.
