History Odd request - I'm after a specific incident

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Hi,

This is a bit of an odd request, but can anyone remember this incident:

It was an extremely soft penalty given against Tottenham (yes I know). But it was quite a specific one - it happenned when one of our defenders tried to clear the ball away in a regular volley type hoof, and an attacker came from nowhere and stuck his foot into the path of the defender's foot - referee gave an instant penalty despite there clearly being no intent to kick the attacker.

I'm pretty sure (but not 100%) that this was a weekend premier league game around 6,7 or 8 years ago.

Any help appreciated.

It's an incident I keep referring to in conversatuions because I see this sort of foul not given quite alot. Last night's Saka thing again reminded me of it. It's a terrible conning of the referee in my opinion. The penalty (I think) was given and scored.

To be fair, Lamella on Van Djik instantly sprang to my mind! Pretty funny when it goes for u. Awful when it goes against u. Swings and roundabouts tho.
