I still feel it's a penalty, because his foot gets clipped by Wan Bissaka as he's sprinting. That takes you of balance. Of course you can review it over and over on lower speed, which makes it seem as minimal contact, but that doesn't change the fact that he didn't dive for me. Same as Rashford the week before vs. Forest. There is a challenge, how minimal as it is.
I also thought VAR wasn't going to re-ref the games. And this is exactly doing that.
It can't be more obvious, but for some reason some Arsenal fans here want to invent some weird biomechanical reasons for the foot's sudden movement when it scratches Nketiah's forehead. Of course those reasons are not explained. Next level theories.
Are you guys arguing about this moment? For me Lindelof (or was it Dalot?) definitely makes contact with Eddie's head. You can even see a white mark made by the defender's boot on Eddie head. The reason probably why Eddie doesn't make a reaction is cause he's scythed down half a second later.
Even United fans are not arguing against this one, they're just avoiding it.It can't be more obvious, but for some reason some Arsenal fans here want to invent some weird biomechanical reasons for the foot's sudden movement when it scratches Nketiah's forehead.

Imagine that happened to Bruno Fernandes. We would have been down to 10 and he would still be rolling around today.

I am just happy it didn't happen to Bruno...
...a face that stunning deserves to be preserved for future generations!
