Very good performance. We played some nice football which was great to watch. Martinelli - Great finish for the 1st goal. I was surprised that we got given a penalty, thought that was rather fortunate. VAR checks the penalty for encroachment. There is encroachment however small but no retake.
Laca and Saka were outstanding.Ramsdale as sharp as ever. Got Tomiyasu out of a pickle.
We should have scored more goals but Fabianski was excellent.
A plus goal difference and in the Top 4 temporarily but nice to be there
again.
Who was that pitch invader ?

I got that one wrong. You were by far the better team. Didn't think it was a penalty so I'm glad you scored another to get the deserved win.

There was no retake for encroachment because Saka touched the ball first. Had he left it and the goalie or a West Ham player touched it first, then the retake would have been ordered.
At least that's the explanation given by the commentary team I had. Don't know the rules well enough to know if it's correct but it does make sense. I was just shocked Lacazette missed. That's what he gets for not blasting it as usual, if it ain't broke don't fix it
