That is var in a nutshell, exactly the same as Richarlison at the Etihad where we got nothing
That was a penalty too.. both clear and neither dubious.. just ours want given for “whatever” reason.. but that is a different argument.

It's Smith, he knows what he's doing. He was in fact looking back at Jota when the ball passed him. His arms are high and it hit his lower forearm. He even lowers and raises his arms on the way downdefender had his back to the ball, made no attempt to play the ball with his arm and I dont think his arm was in an “unnatural position”(whatever that means). When you jump like that your arms come up naturally. Having them by your sides would be unnatural.
Always thought Milner was their #1 penalty taker ?
It’s a natural position jumping. It’s how you jump high. Try to jump without raising your arms and see how it goes.Doesn't matter. Raising an arm to "hang" in the air is not a natural position.
Doesn't matter how many times it happens. I'd be fuming if that wasn't given for us.
Tbh fair. I would too.Mo Salah after that penalty had a quick think about his bank balance and started to chuckle.
