It's never ever going to be one replay. One angle may have shown a handball by Alonso. In this case it didn't obviously but if you only ever look at something once you could miss things that could have happened earlier.I'd have gone for a piss and missed the penalty.
Took about 2 minutes didn't it? Should have been 20 seconds, absolute max. It only needed one replay.
