The other option was to play on with Haaland then smashing it into the net. That's what I mean by narrative. Oliver didn't want to see Arsenal down a goal within 2 minutes, simple as...that same thing happens 20 minutes in its called a pen. It's amazing how one can predict the vast majority of close calls simply by understanding the score, time of the game, location, impact on either side, etc. It should never be about that, but nobody is going to convince me that match officials don't allow peripheral factors to influence their decisions, sometimes to unbelievable levels of incompetancy,
