Gareth Bale could not believe his eyes when the referee flashed a yellow card at him for diving in this incident in their crucial last game.

Traveling at full pace, Gareth Bale bearing down on goal is a sight that should strike fear into every Premier League defender and goalkeeper.

Seb Larsson didn't need to be told that though, as he struggled to get back and make a challenge on the in-form Spurs man, and ended up pulling him back by the shoulders, sending Bale tumbling in the box.

As the referee brought the whistle to his lips, the whole crowd were sure they'd be celebrating a penalty, until this happened.

He simply can't believe it, and neither can we if we're honest, it looked like a clear penalty from the second Larsson tried to tackle him. Understandably, the crowd have not been happy with the ref since.
