Yeah, ref blew his whistle before the goal.

Im aware of that, that doesn’t answer my question tho

 

[Bluearmy]

Yeah free kick given, but it came off his arms after he fell so hard to see it being given even if play hadn't been stopped

Im aware of what was given. A free kick to us instead of a goal. But would like to see it back if possible.

Yes it does. When the ref blows the game stops.

 

[Bill Walker]

If anything is really obvious.. it's that Rodri is our best player and him out for 3 games meant 3 defeats!

Incredible statistic but true. He is that important.

Yes it does. When the ref blows the game stops.

So still not answered… im fully aware the ref blew to give us a free kick (was at the game) and disallow our goal because thats to our advantage apparently. But would like to see it back as was at the game and been removed from all highlights for some reason

As he fell over after being fouled Rico landed on all fours with the ball underneath him which had the effect of shieldng it from the Arsenal defenders. Fair enough, but while there, the ball either hit his arm, or he used his arm to keep it there giving him time to get up and continue his run. Don't know wherher the ref had blown beforehand but even if he had played on, VAR would have ruled it out, probably rightly. No complaints from me.

Would just like to see it back. Removed from all highlights ive found. Cant give handball after being fouled surely. Handball is consistently given like earlier today when VVD is fouled. Oh hang on….

I've watched it several times, he doesn't purposely hand ball it but it's irrelevant as the game was stopped on the whistle. And so were the arse players.

Its not irrelevant, the ref should never have blown his whistle. Its yet another case of us being reffed differently… Irrelevant ffs

Yes, you need to see it back. I was watching with commentary muted as usual so don't know what the explanation was. He didn't give the handball because we got the free kick.
