Looked like he was a long way from the ball from where I was sitting
he was jumping for the ball, that's how he was knocked off balance, and you don't jump when the ball gets to you, other wise you'd be jumping too late.
It's a moot point anyway, the penalty was given.

Spurs got the benefit of a penalty that shouldn’t have been a penalty due to the offside, then Vertonghen is about 4 yards inside the box when the Gooners take their pen and surprise, he’s the man who gets back in time to block the follow up on the line.

You is whining more than the gooners you sad tart <laugh>
 
The Law says:

If a player in an offside position is moving towards the ball with the intention of playing the ball and is fouled before playing or attempting to play the ball, or challenging an opponent for the ball, the foul is penalised as it has occurred before the offside offence
The foul didn’t happen before the offside offence though. Nice try.
