Arse finally score (bastards). Wolves claim a foul in the build up. Haven't seen it, but nothing would surprise me.

Last angle shows it clearly. Lacazette just kicks the keeper.
Commentators doing their best Stevie Wonder impression, though.
Officials will even it up by giving Wolves some decisions against us on the weekend. <doh>

Hopefully they’ll level it up in the game.
A draw suits everyone, doesn’t it?

Would have been as ridiculous as ruling out our goal at Southampton for a foul on their keeper to rule that out in my honest opinion.

It is still a contact sport and the keeper never had the ball for me.

I don't see how that's not a foul on an outfield player, though.
Swings for the ball, misses and hits the opponent.
 
Michael Oliver finally doing something that I've wished refs would do for years: the double yellow.
Martinelli commits two caution-worthy offences in the same move and gets a red.

Except that ours got ruled out for a similar 'offence' costing us 2pts, and if they win because of that goal it gains them 2pts. That's a 4pt swing for inconsistency. Single places in the table are often decided on far less.

Not disagreeing with that at all... I did mention it was a joke to disallow ours
 
Martinelli <laugh>

Shoves a Wolves player that’s taken a throw in, chases after the player who the ball’s been thrown too, commits a foul so gets two yellow cards for separate offences.

Perhaps the authorities should have kept this in mind when they decided not to punish Torres for clawing at Verts face (like Dembele did to get a six match ban) after he fouled someone, got a yellow, because it was deemed to be part of the same action.

You know....I'm as disapointed with the Southampton result as I was with our CL final. Before the game I thought..must get something here here against the Saints with their up and down record. So...off we go. We get the lead.They hit back.We get the lead back.They hit back.Ok let's win it. Oh no! Surprise,surprise! UpTHEY pop with the winner. All through this,did you notice,at least,three incredible saves by Hugo I don't think anyone else could have made!!!? Now we have employed anItalian coach who has a defensive reputation.He may need to go back to the Tottenham drawing board.I noticed our defence,especially our center halves were a mess,our mid field hardly existed and our right back continually kept kicking the ball into touch.So like Donald Trump flushing documents down his toilet,seems we are about to flush our games in hand the same way. Oh to be a Spurs fan these days. God bless you all!!!!

That's our 15th red card in the league under Arteta. The most by a distance. At least we're leading the table in something...for context, Southampton have the 2nd most, with 8.

We got the victory in the end, but we're not always going to win games if we keep getting players sent off. I just don't understand why we're so ill-disciplined. Arteta always bemoans it and yet, we keep doing it. Infuriating.

yeah i'm going to have to disagree with him kicking the keeper there lol. I've watched it about 4 times and i think he gets to the ball first (admittedly it's not in HD and super slowmo)

Definitely gets the ball first, nothing wrong with the goal at all it's just a typical "rival watch" thing <ok>
