He did slip a little hitting it to be fair, although there's no way imo it could have come off his standing left leg and gone to the bottom left corner that sweetly, unless Sergio was aiming for the corner flag to begin with.Did anyone else pick up that Kun's pen was VAR scrutinised to see if he played it off his standing foot. I thought the delays between scoring and kick off for each of our goals was long last night given so little controversy around each goal.
Microscopic scrutiny.
Its funny really. I've seen it mentioned a couple of times that it wasn't a great penalty but I've got to say I disagree completely.He did slip a little hitting it to be fair, although there's no way imo it could have come off his standing left leg and gone to the bottom left corner that sweetly, unless Sergio was aiming for the corner flag to begin with.
It was clear on first view that it was a clean strike...He did slip a little hitting it to be fair, although there's no way imo it could have come off his standing left leg and gone to the bottom left corner that sweetly, unless Sergio was aiming for the corner flag to begin with.
I agree, but I also agree with them taking a second look when a player slips, a keeper looks suspiciously far off his line saving the shot or a defender suspiciously close to a rebound.It was clear on first view that it was a clean strike...
And the keeper was off his line...I agree, but I also agree with them taking a second look when a player slips, a keeper looks suspiciously far off his line saving the shot or a defender suspiciously close to a rebound.
I remember a double hit penality disallowed v Leicester (?) at the Etihad a few years ago. Doesn't happen often and no VAR needed.I agree, but I also agree with them taking a second look when a player slips, a keeper looks suspiciously far off his line saving the shot or a defender suspiciously close to a rebound.
If he's off his line and we score in quite happy not to retake it :)And the keeper was off his line...
Yeah Mahrez, that one was dead obvious though, he went to hit it low one way and it looped high the other way.I remember a double hit penality disallowed v Leicester (?) at the Etihad a few years ago. Doesn't happen often and no VAR needed.
I remember the confusion in the ground. A real wtf happened moment. Great days...Yeah Mahrez, that one was dead obvious though, he went to hit it low one way and it looped high the other way.
Watched it on TV, you could see straight away he'd touched it twice so a lot less confusing, just shock at the referee actually making the right call :)I remember the confusion in the ground. A real wtf happened moment. Great days...
