You have a panel voting 4-1 that it wasn’t a foul.
You have two former defenders on commentary saying it wasn’t a foul.
You have the on the pitch referees deeming it not a foul.
You have the VAR team deeming it wasn’t a foul.
Do people here honestly think so many people are corrupt or inept?
Anyone who’s had some experience of playing football at even a semi competitive level will know that Gabriel was ducking in an attempt to head the ball over. In the immediate aftermath of the goal he didn’t even complain about the foul, he complained about the ball being out.
I honestly think had this incident happened in isolation—outside the two other incidents—then no one would be talking about this anymore. Yet somehow Arsenal fans seem to think that because there were three 50/50 decisions involved in the goal it should somehow amount to 150% certainty that the goal should be disallowed.
Oh wow, a “independent” panel chosen by the PL. And two former defenders who literally got ordered by the PGMOL to defend it? And the refereeing team for the match. Lmao. I can list a lot of footballers and ex referees who said it was a foul, what does that prove?
He ducked to head it away but someone who played football should understand that he wouldn’t completely miss it unless he was being pushed down. It was not a tricky cross. Or do you think it was a coincidence that it hit Joelinton on the arm? Two professionals completely missing an easy header? Maybe you should stick to playing “semi competitive football” and leave the thinking to others
Least angry and deluded north London red fan
Try reading the whole chain before being sarcastic. But I guess that’s too big of a task to ask for from a Spurs fan
