Stone wall pen , the Elliot one 😂
1 - blatant foul. His slight touch was irrelevant as it didn't change direction of the ball and Jesus would have been in possession if he wasn't hacked down.
2 - it seemed to be the second leg. Could Elliott have jumped it? Probably. But why should he?
3 - looked like play acting.

1- why is touching the ball irrelevant? That is the whole point of football!
2- didn't see the second leg, may have to watch that again
3- yeah it was play acting by Yates but still silly by Maddison
No just seen the Harvey Elliot pen again and it is definitely a dive!
I think getting something on the ball first was a defence that the Vinnie Jones of this world relied upon in a bygone era but it won't save you now.

Because it was such a slight touch it did nothing to affect Jesus being in possession. Touching the ball is not enough to allow you to follow through and hack the player down. If you genuinely think that wasn't a penalty then I would be shocked. Judge it on the action not the badge on the shirt.
What about the Wolves goal being chalked off? The player was interfering but was the keeper ever saving it?

He was hardly hacked down! Players look for contact in the box all the time and go down as if they have been shot. Lamptey got a touch on the ball meaning it went into a different direction. Not sure I follow you on the badge comment.

The ball didn't change direction and Lamptey kicked through Jesus. Stonewall.
Wolves, think the movement of the player (stepped back into keeper as the header was made) makes it offside.
The Emerson disallowed goal was a worse call imo.
Didn’t see the Arsenal one.
Wan Bissaka was a penalty all day long, you can’t dive in and get none of the ball - Elliott tried to jump and avoid but landed on top - that is a penalty, he has impeded him.
Maddison - honestly I think the ref took into account it was that massive clogging Khunt Yates and gave Maddison a pass. Yates committed 4 fouls in 14 mins just before that and could have gone himself - he was also a proper diiick in the reverse fixture. Technically a red and had it been to another Forest player then Maddison probably would have walked, but I think the ref/VAR got that one right - but of intelligence for once

I saw that for the first time on MOTD2 last night.
Having heard the fuss Wolves made about it I expected it to be far more of an injustice than it was.
If a player is stood infront of the keeper in an offside position I would expert any goal to be chalked off whether he'd have saved it or not.
As soon as Lamptey gets a touch, Jesus is no longer in control of the ball
Brighton manager even admitted it was a penalty. Cant believe people are still moaning about it

Really? That is ridiculous.
Hardly seen anything about Ben White. Quite possibly the worst play acting I’ve seen in the PL and deserving of retrospective punishment for bringing the game into disrepute.

If lamptey kicked the ball away then punched jesus in the face, is it still not a penalty? Using your logic.
In any case, lamptey didn't kick the ball away. He got a slight nick, that jesus would have completed for. But he couldn't, because lamptey took him out.
Clear penalty, even the Brighton manager agreed with it. Let it go.

Why let it go, its called a debate! Why don't you let your biased opinion go.
The thing is Lamptey didn't punch Jesus in the face, he won the ball and then there was a coming together where Jesus made a meal of it in the hope Lamptey didn't get a touch to the ball. It is not just Jesus or arsenal players, all players do this to win a penalty, its just in this case Lamptey did win the ball so I can't believe it was given and I hope this doesn't start a worrying trend where you win the ball but the coming together is then deemed a foul.
