Hm. Don't know if this should be a pen.

It's not a dive but his leg was definitely deliberately dragged on the ground.

Not enough for VAR to overturn it, that's the issue.
Insightful.
Rubbish challenge, high boot and blood drawn. Should have absolutely been a red.

As bad as a dive

It's simulation because if he was running like normal no contact happens. You can see the grass being pulled up by his foot.
Yep, it's not a dive, but Havertz initiated the contact.

Maybe there shouldn't be a leg sliding across his path and getting zero ball then while he's through on goal

Cooly done by Saka.

I forgot how blood being drawn = red card. Must have missed that in the rule book. Yellow? Yes. Red? no.

Milked that pen, should have been overturned
He didn’t even receive a yellow.

Unfortunately until FIFA get serious with diving and simulation, this shit will still happen.
You know that's not what I was implying, stop being silly mate.
Look how high and dangerous that challenge was. It should have been a red and I'd be surprised if many disagree.

TheBrownDog
I know that. My point was to me it wasn't a red but it was a yellow.

Why mention blood being drawn then?
If we're going with high challenges then Rice should have got a red on Travers as his leg was high going in for that cross.
Well to me it was a red.

Cool and I never said you weren't entitled to your opinion. I said it was a yellow, but you are being very vociferous about it like normal. Take a chill pill, discuss like an adult.
Where was I unreasonable?
You're turning this into something it isn't.
It was a reckless and dangerous challenge, and very high.
If you think it was a yellow, cool. But you'd be in the minority (like you are with the rest of your opinions).
Could certainly reach a decision that the trailing leg initiated contact with the goalkeeper as it was not a natural running motion.
But they're always going to be given, no referee or VAR is ever going to do otherwise.

Cheeky from Havertz but I’m ok with VAR not getting involved in those, as long as they keep that standard.
Another one just about ticked off for Arsenal and all the pressure back on City.

I’m just thankful Saka wasn’t punished for endangering the sole of his foot.
Arsenal should be up by about 3, important goal there just before the half as pressure was starting to build
Very cooly taken pen it must be said. Fortunate it was awarded, swings and roundabouts though I suppose.
Makes up for the red card they should have got.
