Danny Welbeck was accused of diving to win the penalty that inspired Arsenal to book their place into the Europa League quarter-finals with a 3-1 win over AC Milan on Thursday. After taking the first leg 2-0 in Milan last week, Arsene Wenger's side were in danger of blowing their lead when Hakan Calhanoglu put the Italians ahead in the first half at the Emirates Stadium. But Welbeck turned the last 16 second leg back in Arsenal's favour moments after Calhanoglu's goal as the striker appeared to dive to win a penalty that he converted himself. Welbeck's theatrics were condemned by pundits, while Swedish referee Jonas Eriksson was slammed for being tricked by the play-acting. "It's a definite dive," former Arsenal defender Martin Keown told BT Sport, while ex-Tottenham star Jermaine Jenas said: "Welbeck doesn't feel any contact apart from his own feet connecting with themselves and he goes over.
