100%I’ve seen a couple of angles and I’d probably err on the same side, that he probably glances it by a hair’s width, but as you say - anywhere else on the pitch (or any other penalty area in Greater Manchester for that matter) and that’s a penalty.
IIRC the laws of the game say nothing about ball first - I believe it’s a careless lash and therefor a foul. If it were the other end of the pitch and Cancelo on Ronaldo you can bet your bottom dollar it’s a different outcome.
