anyway. This wont be given in another game as a pen again. We are used to it.

Yep there's no way that decision goes against Liverpool and Man City.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------------

It’s a highly debatable one and just a matter of opinion.

Personally I thought it was a collision and so not a foul, but I don’t think those saying it was a foul are necessarily wrong.

It clearly isn’t a headbutt / red card offence.

What are we arguing about lads

Keep it personal

I think as usual the truth lies somewhere in the middle. If the ref didn't give it in real time I don't think VAR would overturn it, one of those ones.

I don't see why people can't just put their heads together and sort it out.

Liverpool players won't do something as stupid as this.

It's a penalty IMO because if the same thing happens with the feet it would be a penalty. Just because it happens with their heads instead of their feet doesn't change the rationale, no? Pedro moves the ball at the last second, the defender is already committed so he misses the ball and gets the man instead. Happens all the time with the feet and it's always a foul/penalty. It's not a coming together because Pedro would be in a decent position after taking the ball away from the Arsenal defender if he doesn't get fouled. Two cents.

If that challenge happens outside the area and is given as a free kick no one bats an eyelid.

This.

I would agree with that, were it not for the fact that Saliba did head the ball. That’s why I think it was a collision rather than a foul. But it’s highly subjective.

Yeah there's a rule against high boot but not against heading the ball... What a facking awful take Mamba

Pretty sure he meant if it was both the players' feet instead of their heads.

Looks more like it flicked off the top of his head as he headbutted Pedro, rather than him heading it.

I don't think it was deliberate, but I'd class it as reckless. Bit of a brainfart by Saliba.

More importantly why the ref would.

not with his head he didn’t. It’s clear if you watch a replay.

I don’t see the argument here, it’s a clear foul and in this case a penalty.

Maybe I’m going mad… the ball clear comes off of his head?
