That happens almost every game and is never called. How is that being called in this game? Honestly how does PGMOL support VAR doing that in this game and not for example when Gabriel was actually tackled in the box against Newcastle last season!

    If you’ve got the video from behind the goal… watch how the 2 man city players are blocking and grabbing man utd defenders from getting back.

    If one is a penalty for the attacking team, why is that not a free kick to the defending team

    The rules are not different for attackers and defenders.

    This pen was no more than putting a guy off his run. I’ve been an avid fan for 30 years now and this is the softest penalty I can recall. Even the halftime commentary was very soft on the penalty.

    Not that city wouldn’t have beaten the pants off United today either way but come on, they didn’t need help.

    That literally happens in every single corner… how can it be a “clear and obvious error”? And I’m a Liverpool fan…

    Never a penalty. Its clear that something is going on behind the scenes at this point

    Surely this is the correct call and the problem is with the other non-calls for this type of play? Or do people think what Hojlund did was within the rules of the game?

      The inconsistency is the problem. From another perspective, Manchester City is taking the advantages again, again and again. Coincidence?

    Not a shocking call actually (also i dnt like either team)

    It is a penalty

    Rodri had already run past him and hol decided to out his arm right across and pull him.

    Stupid decision by him and deserved pen after it got caught

    Don’t get me wrong. They should crack down on grabbing and holding but for VAR to get involved in making that call when they never have.
