A £72million head butt!

[Jimmymaccer]

Clever lad that Pepe.........

[FactualFrank]

Can Tony and IanMcL please make up.

You're both Burnley fans and you both make what this board is all about.

Don't ruin it.

[tiger76]

Stupid from Pepe, he's left his teammates up against it now.

[Aclaret]

I'm sensing another last minute goal from Leeds, they get plenty.

Twunts no doubt.

[Taffy on the wing]

Leeds just got away with a handball in the area!
By recent PL standards it was stonewall......the game is shot.

Surprised that didn’t deserve more review time to be honest.

[jrgbfc]

Leeds should have won today. Think they'll stay up comfortably.

[FactualFrank]

It's Leeds. They get away with it.

[Aclaret]

I thought if the ball hits the arm it's now a penalty ?
But what do I know.

only if it's against Man Utd apparently......the game is becoming a nonsense!

[FactualFrank]

Only if it hits the arm.

And against Man United.

Decent point for Arsenal in the circumstances, Leeds will probably feel that's 2 points dropped, I do agree that Leeds will stay up relatively comfortably, I'm not certain they'll break into the top 10 this season though.

[Rileybobs]

Arteta was outclassed there. He had a better squad of players at his disposal but just didn’t have an answer to the way Leeds played. The sending off didn’t change much, in some ways it may have saved Arsenal a point because I think they were more for the taking 11v11.

Decent point for Leeds.

Encroachment

A team mate of the goalkeeper offends:
*If the ball enters the goal, a goal is awarded
*If the ball does not enter the goal, the kick is retaken


Law 14 The Penalty Kick

You too.

If the penalty had been missed it would have been retaken - but this wasn't missed as there was an infringement by the taker which negated the VAR check for encroachment.

[Rileybobs]

Have I just heard correctly that David Coote, who was the referee who failed to penalise Pickford for his challenge on Van Dyke, was supposed to be the VAR in tonight’s game but was re-assigned due to his involvement in that game against Everton 5 weeks ago? What an absolute joke.

[Buxtonclaret]

Took that very well then, did Johnny.

[tiger76]

who needs Salah when the opponents gift you a goal like that.

[Buxtonclaret]

Superb second.
'Pool are playing some excellent stuff.

And have you checked the VAR involvement?

Yep, bit of a can of worms that.

[FactualFrank]

Can we just have a laugh?

[tiger76]

Klopp will be smiling 3-0 Liverpool, this is a big statement given the amount of regulars they are missing, I thought Leicester would give them a real test today, and the Foxes have been swatted aside.

[IanMcL]

And have you checked the VAR involvement?

The rule was enough!

[ClaretTony]

The rule was enough!

The VAR can intervene in one of the following instances:

- A clear and obvious error by the on-field match officials relating to goalkeeper movement
- A double touch by the penalty-taker
- Feigning at the point of the kick by the taker
- Encroachment by players that has a direct impact on the outcome of the kick

[IanMcL]

Ha! You do get unnecessarily excited!

I will quietly point out that prior to the kick taking place, Everton players were dashing into the area, en masse.

Technically, the referee should stop the taker and send them packing.

Time is short, so that is not possible, in most cases. So had he scored, no issue. As he didn't, the infringement occurred prior to his double kick. Nothing to do with VAR. All to do with everyday refereeing of rule 14.

No need to respond, further and calm down. Shouting doesn't change anything.

It wasn't against us, so dinnae worry.
