Good spot from Oliver. No need for Romero to follow through in that situation.

I think its handball, comes off his thigh but he makes a movement towards the ball, deliberate movement for me. Dont think Taylor can see it. VAR should be intervening. 

Correct decision to award a penalty now to Utd, judging by the delay it looks like communication from Howson to award.

Difficult afternoon for Barrott, dark arts well and truly on display this afternoon. Very surprising that Gillet has recommended an OFR for Tuanzebe on Collins.

The last person in the ground who wants a extra 30 minutes is Madley. Agree with previous posts really poor from Madley, just so inconsistent with his foul detection.

I know both were completely different games but a striking difference in the approach from Sam Barrott to this fixture versus Madley's approach today.

Ederson unable to continue, needs to be looked at clear offside there is no benefit to either team having a delayed flag.

Agreed! Having seen a clip from Bond’s angle was always going to be a red card even with minimal contact. Glad to see he gave himself thinking time but ultimately correct decision for me.
