it shows up the ref and the assistant for not spotting the offence

 

That's a dive.
Cheating ****.

 

ref has bottled it

decides to let VAR do their work

 

He's on his way down before there's any contact.

 

thats a ****e decision by the ref and VAR

 

Penalty saved. I love football.

 

That’s justice. It was a dive. He was going down before the contact.

 

Superb!

 

Justice

 

That palace right back is class. I would rather sign him than Guehi.

 

Thought VAR would overturn that. He caught him but just toed the ball first. Not one of those who think that just because he touched the ball it can’t be a penalty. In my view if he doesn’t divert the ball enough to stop the attacker continuing with the ball and then takes him out it is a penalty.

 

I would love it if Man City lost this.

 

The penalty was not a penalty. He dives. He was going down before the tackle.

 

Man City fans back in their box after celebrating a penalty

 

Don’t understand why the penalty wasn’t reviewed. Thought Henderson had left his line before ball was struck.

 

I always look for that and it looked good to me.

 

yes it did look like he had moved too early

 

his foot was in the air so from the angle they show,
it would be hard to tell whether his foot was level with the line

 

Yeh but you have only got one eye.

 

Man City is a hard watch
all that possession (80%) but far too slow with tippy tappy football
need to get the ball upfront a lot quicker
