Phil Jagielka accuses ref Martin Atkinson of arrogance over controversial goal

Phil Jagielka labelled referee Martin Atkinson “a little bit arrogant” in his attitude as the controversy over Everton’s Capital One Cup semi-final loss at Manchester City raged on.

Everton captain Jagielka was unhappy with the response he got when he asked Atkinson why a critical City goal, after Raheem Sterling ran the ball out of play, was allowed to stand.
