The answer to your question in para 1.... is that they(nb not me) deemed his hand was "in an unnatural position" and therefore was trying to hinder the flight of the ballDannie Boy wrote:I thought VAR was there to detect the “clear and obvious” - how Grealish’s brush of the ball can be considered clear and obvious is beyond me. Although it didn’t change the eventual outcome, it could have done.
Although it was by no means a one-horse race, I thought that City deserved to win - let’s see if they can make it a record equalling season by making it a treble next weekend!!
As I recall it, the flight of the ball was barely affected at all by the accidental contact.
As stupid a penalty as I've ever seen.
Along with the one given for Liverpool v Spurs Champions league final
Common sense needs applying
