Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot Posted 27 December 2019 Share Posted 27 December 2019 He stands on his foot, the commentator is clearly blind as that's a stonewall penalty. The problem isn't the law on encroachment, it's that players are either too thick or too stubborn to stand outside the area before the pen is taken. Everything there was done to the letter of the law and can't have any complaints. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonezy Posted 27 December 2019 Share Posted 27 December 2019 The first player encroaching the box was a Man City player wasn't it? Seemed very harsh. The pen was a pen, but Riyad obviously completely overplays it (as apparently you have to do these days). Very interesting game this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But your encroaching player cleared the ball. If there's had got the tap in it would have been retaken as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted 27 December 2019 Share Posted 27 December 2019 The Man City player was encroaching more than the Wolves so what’s the point of the retake? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who's commentating? Stevie Wonder. I hate to say it, but that is a penalty and the retake is justified due to encroachment. No two ways about it.

Otis Posted 27 December 2019 Share Posted 27 December 2019 The defender steped on his foot which is a pen. It's irrelevent what happens after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super_horns Posted 27 December 2019 Share Posted 27 December 2019 Quiet start for VAR then.. Someone isn't going to be happy with it at the end of the game. Tough on the Wolves goalie - 2 penalty saves and neither matter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post StanSP Posted 27 December 2019 Popular Post Share Posted 27 December 2019 I'm guessing you guys haven't seen the replay. I don't get how it can't be a penalty?! Defender literally steps on his foot and suddenly that's not a foul. There's an element of overreaction from Mahrez but it doesn't change the fact he was fouled? 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's clear contact, clear foul. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
