Poll under fire again as McFadden sees red

REFEREE Graham Poll walked from the Goodison Park pitch with the home fans howling “cheat” at the World Cup official as Arsenal booked their place in the Carling Cup quarter-finals.

Poll enraged Everton supporters for sending off James McFadden for dissent after just 18 minutes of the tie, which was settled by Emmanuel Adebayor’s 85th-minute header.

Television replays seemed to suggest that Poll was telling Everton players that McFadden had called him a cheat, even though the Scottish forward denied that accusation.
