As an ex FA referee I can say it was a penalty. Even if Fabrigas stuck his legs between the defenders. The defender was making a tackle and cocked it up.
As for being a great game, too one sided for that. Arsenal were lucky and I support them After West Ham. Don't give them much much chance in Spain.
Messi played well in the midfield but it was interesting to see what he would do against a good team.
