Nicklas Bendtner has criticised Hull midfielder George Boateng for some of his challenges in their game at the weekend.

Boateng was sent off just before half-time for two bookable offences as Arsenal went on to win the game 2-1.

Boateng first poked Bendtner in the eye, and then went in studs-up on Bacary Sagna, and Bendtner believes he deserved to be sent off.

He said: "I said to him: 'If you want something, you've got to be fair. You don't poke someone in the eye on the pitch when the ref isn't looking.

"For me, that's not fair. I said that to him and he got a bit upset. He took it out on Bac [Sagna] and rightly got a red card and from then on the game settled down."

Bendtner believes the challenge on Sagna was dangerous, and felt his team-mate was lucky not to come away with a serious injury.

"Most of the challenges were fair, except that one. It was a poor challenge. You can see Bac's knee and it's got stud marks all along it so the referee had no choice.

"It could have been another serious injury but, luckily, nothing happened."
