Chelsea 2 Tottenham 1, Barclays Premier League, 30 April 2011
Referee: Andre Marriner
Assistants: Mike Cairns and Martin Yerby
Fourth official: Chris Foy
Profile: Andre Marriner
Marriner first took charge of a Premier League game back November 2004 in a 4-0 win for Charlton Athletic against Norwich City.
The 40-year-old refereed the 2010 Championship Play-off final between Blackpool and Cardiff at Wembley. Ian Holloway’s men sealed a 3-2 victory and Marriner did not issue any cards.
On 17 April 2011 he awarded the latest ever penalty in Premier League history in a clash between Arsenal and Liverpool at Emirates Stadium.
The game was heading for a goalless draw until Marriner awarded Arsenal a penalty in the eighth minute of stoppage time which Robin van Persie converted.
He then awarded a second spot-kick to Liverpool four minutes later, which Dirk Kuyt duly scored to give the visitors an unlikely point.
