That penalty kind of sums up a little bugbear of mine, though I think it's an unpopular opinion. Obviously really you can't not give that because he's just wiped him out, but Hoilett has just booted that out of play there, no player on the pitch could have got anywhere near it. Just seems a nonsense to me that players can smack the ball way out of their control and then ride a challenge and it's a foul.

with you on that. if you must surrender possession to prevent the challenger touching the ball it shouldn't be a foul.
