From The Sun:

‘DENNIS BERGKAMP has ADMITTED stamping on Blackburn defender Nils-Eric Johansson.

The Arsenal striker was caught on TV putting the boot into the Rovers man in Saturday's Highbury clash but the incident escaped ref Graham Barber and the FA are poised to go to trial by video over the incident.

The Dutch star said: "It probably looked worse than it actually was and it really wasn't that big a deal.

"I felt I deserved a free-kick but I didn't get one, so it wasn't frustration we were losing but because I didn't get the free-kick."
