And look at the own goal the Nigerian keeper conceded, truly laughable

Also been a lot of speculation of match fixing before the game. Couldn't make it more obvious if they tried

He was fouled and the goal was disallowed

That may be so, but throwing the ball in the net was intentional. How many times do we see similar FK's given in the PL in a season? Loads. And the keepers drop the ball not throw it in the net

But the goal was disallowed, he saved a one on one in the game as well. A much easier one to let in

How anyone can dispute that the keeper intentionally threw the ball into the net is beyond it.

Fecking unreal

Can't believe more isn't being made of it tbh

You won't see more blatant than that, foul or no foul.
Genuinly ridiculous

I have seen keepers fouled and drop the ball into their own goal, loads of times.
If the allegations were not made pre match then everyone would just put this down to an obvious foul on the keeper and move on.

The thing is there were other matches as well being investigated, no one is talking about those ones though

He throws it. It isn't knocked out of his hands

It's ludicrous

No, the lump that is Grunt Hanley crashes into his left arm.

I am amazed they cannot see the foul. If the keeper was trying to fix the match, why did he save a one on one later in the game?

Barely touches him and his forearm moves 90 degrees

At worst he would have dropped the ball

Hanley was actually pulling out at the point of impact and of anything, the keeper was the player with the momentum

Not a chance a professinal goal keeper wouldn't have the strength in his arms to deal with that. His forearm went from vertical to horizontal
