How on earth is that not a foul

So you can get a pen for kicking the ball against a defenders arm from 3 feet, but you have a keeper flatten a forward and its not a foul

Whys var not looking at this

Not one of the commentators willing to say it which is ridiculous.

Stonewall penalty there

He flattened him

It's the most obvious pen.
Keeper nowhere near the ball and takes the attacker out .
Footballs gone mad

Just seen people moaning in this thread about that Saliba handball for the pen, don't see it as controversial at all tbh, he's putting his arm out like Superman ffs

Thiago Silva still playing like a god at 39

If they think Saliba's isn't a penalty, we're due an apology for Keane today as Saliba's isn't any way excusable.

Meanwhile, Young at 38 needs to get in the bin already.

Young would be okay if he was used like at Villa, can't play every game though.

Thiago Silva however is the most intelligent defender I've watched in a decade

Arsenal have been terrible here.

I thought both were Phil

 

[Billy Dean]

Caicedo, Gallagher, Enzo and Palmer have been superb

 

[Billy Dean]

In fact they’ve all played well tbf

Which is my point. Keane is a penalty. I know there's the argument of how we run and whatnot, but the precedent is that it's a pen - he'd turned his body to the ball.

If Thiago can be described as an 'intelligent' defender, I wonder what adjective can be best used to describe our lovable Keane?

Cracking game this.

The frustration with Everton is when we win the ball against better teams we haven't got a clue what to do with it in the final third.
I appreciate that these are better players but look at Brighton , even Brentford , with proper coaching we could be so much more of a threat.
