Premiership referee Jeff Winter has owned up to making a glaring error in the recent meeting between Fulham and Arsenal.
Winter failed to give a penalty when Arsenal defender Sol Campbell collided with Fulham striker Luis Boa Morte.
"At the time you see it once and you make an honest decision - that's the end of it," Winter said.

"When I reviewed the video the following day where it showed various camera angles it was blatantly obvious I had got it wrong.
"The score of the game was 1-0 to Arsenal with Fulham's Steve Marlet slicing the ball from a corner it into his own net.
"So, in the game there were two examples of human error and, like Steve Marlet, I can tell you that you don't go out of your way to make mistakes.
"You are somewhat embarrassed by them but all you can do is try and learn."
He added: "It's no good to the Fulham fans or the club's players and management that a referee owns up after a game to say that he got a decision wrong, but that is all we can do.
"I got that wrong, 100%, but it was an honest error.
"I am being as frank and honest as I can but referee's don't just shrug their shoulders and say "tough it's happened".
