In this compelling photograph taken by Stuart MacFarlane during the FA Cup 3rd Round match between Nottingham Forest and Arsenal on January 7, 2018, at the City Ground in Nottingham, England, Arsenal's Per Mertesacker and Danny Welbeck are seen passionately protesting referee John Moss' call. The tension in the air is palpable as the two Arsenal players express their frustration over the second penalty awarded to Nottingham Forest in the ongoing match. Mertesacker, the experienced German defender, and Welbeck, the English striker, are both seen with determined expressions on their faces, their bodies leaning in towards Moss as they make their case. The referee, however, remains unmoved, his expression impassive as he prepares to make his next call. The FA Cup is known for its rich history and unexpected upsets, and this match was no exception. Arsenal, the favorite to win, found themselves trailing 2-0 after just 20 minutes due to the controversial penalties. The team and their fans were left feeling aggrieved, and Mertesacker and Welbeck's protest was a reflection of their collective disappointment. Despite the setback, Arsenal rallied and managed to pull one back before the end of the first half. The second half saw a more evenly matched game, with both teams creating chances but failing to convert. In the end, Nottingham Forest held on to win 2-1, leaving Arsenal fans and players feeling a sense of disappointment and frustration. This photograph captures the intensity and emotion of the moment, highlighting the passion and determination of the players and the unpredictability of the beautiful game.
