Edited sentence: Arsenal won the game 1-0 but in the lead up to their goal by Freddie Ljungberg, there was an accidental collision between Poll and United midfielder Michael Tonge.He was well-regarded by the football authorities and tipped for the highest accolade for a referee: to be asked to take charge of the World Cup Final.However, he made a calamitous mistake in the Croatia vs Australia match at the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany, when he cautioned the same player three times before sending him off.The error could have been prevented by the intervention of either of the assistant referees, or the fourth official, or any of the numerous other FIFA personnel at the game, but none noticed the mistake until after the match was finished.This prevented him from tracking back to cover the scorer, to the dismay of Neil Warnock, the then Sheffield United manager, who had a reputation for blaming referees for his clubs' defeats
