Having just watched the Chelsea/Arsenal game, the game was stopped due to a head injury inside the Arsenal penalty area, when Chelsea were about to cross from the right touchline.
Upon the restart Craig Pawson gave the ball to the Arsenal keeper.
I know the law is the keeper gets the ball if the play is stopped inside the area, but the play was outside the area with Chelsea, the incident is in the area. Can anyone confirm?? I am assuming Mr Pawson is correct.
