I’d like to see the overhead, looks like the ref thought his hand was in front of his body, I can’t tell
They were lucky in my view yes his arm isn’t unnatural but that movement is.
It would have been less of a handball if he just let it hit him. Moot point anyway.
DDG will be asking Lindelof about sure hands technique at HT.
That’s a really odd one not to give. His arm was by his side but unlike the arsenal one earlier, his moved his arm so that he could block it

Don’t mind her saying that as long it’s the words I wanna hear
artwell is on the comms, why is anyone surprised
VAR should have had the ref look at least.

His arm was infront of his body. He made an odd movement too.
One of those. If ref gives it, no over turning it.

That had to be a handball, just watched 3 replays of it, he definitely moved his hand towards it. Under the rules can they come out 2nd half and be awarded the penalty? I seem to remember Utd getting a pen after a final whistle

Brighton iirc…three years ago?
Cant remember if i’m honest but if they can award a penalty after the final whistle then surely it’s allowed after a halftime whistle.
Oh yeah, that reach back to block, lad should be sitting for the 2nd half

Tbf that shot from Benrahma was a stinger, couldv’e broken De Gea’s hand…it was the right move from him to let it past.

No good reason not to give that handball other than the ref not wanting to “ruin the contest” by having Utd go too far behind.

They can award a pen on review after the whistle, happened twice from my memory…and tut tut typically dut one involved going in the favour of Utd.
Even Rio and Joe are saying it’s a clear pen & they don’t usually have a clue…yet we have a ref who’s supposedly knows the ins and the outs of the “laws of the game”, it’s BS.
