He touches the ball first?
Doesn't matter if he then goes on to kick the opposition player like that. He's skimmed the ball as opposed to kicked it and then gone on to take the Arsenal player out. He's kicked the Arsenal player more than he "kicked" the ball. It's not like he's kicked the Arsenal player following through a proper kicked the ball clearance. He's just about missed the ball but didn't miss the Arsenal player.

Have to agree with your comment
The laws were changed to stop the potential leg breaker coming over the top

I agree it’s definitely more of a penalty than Maddison’s. But I would be 50:50.

If that happens tonight on Wilson. No penalty.
if that happens tonight on Salah. Penalty.
 
They look shot at the moment. Although not great I feel at least we are basically on an upward trajectory while getting some tough games out of the way.
Agree
We’d never have expected anything from this run of games, and I mean a 0 points expectation - so seeing them get in the habit of ‘at least trying’ is a bonus and a good thing
