Referee Peter Frojdfeldt is in "no doubt" he was right to award Liverpool a penalty against Arsenal on Tuesday.
Frojdfeldt pointed to the spot in the 85th minute of the Champions League second-leg clash when Kolo Toure and Ryan Babel came together.
Steven Gerrard then dispatched the spot-kick past goalkeeper Manuel Almunia to set the Reds on their way to the last four of the competition.
Gunners boss Arsene Wenger expressed his disappointment at the decision, labelling it "dodgy", but Frojdfeldt has backed his call.
He told The Mirror: "I have no doubt it was a penalty. He pulled his shirt and the only ones complaining were the Arsenal players, who were complaining at Toure.
"It was a very fair game in a high tempo. The atmosphere was fantastic. I'm satisfied with both mine and my assistants' work."
