32′ Arsenal 1-0 Wolves
I wonder how many more times I’ll type that today…
Arsenal fans scream for a penalty. It was lovely play down the right, Saka giving it, continuing his run, then getting it back as he raced into the area.
Toti Gomes was chasing, Gomes actually lost his footing and fell down, not really in Saka’s path, there was a slight (probably accidental) bit of contact with Saka as a result, and Saka felt it, paused, then went down a little dramatically.
Not for me, not enough in it. It will take a high bar to overturn referees’ on-field decisions this season, and that didn’t meet the criteria, in my opinion. VAR agrees with me and upholds Jarred Gillett’s decision.
