I wouldn't say for nothing.
Vieira was held and went to ground. If that happened on the halfway line the ref would have given a free kick.
But it didn't happen on the halfway line, it happened in the area. Therefore, penalty.
Unlike the Rooney affair which should have been a booking for simulation and an Arsenal free kick.
