    The penalty is an odd one. It is very clear, very obvious, but they must have felt it was 'soft', which isn't really mentioned in the guidance. Nobody in their right mind can argue that the guy doesn't drag Trossard back and stop him attacking the ball.

    Can't remember who it was against that Gabriel had his shirt pulled until the Emirates logo was on his back as he got dragged back.

    If VAR and the ref wouldn't give that they aren't going to give anything involving pulling players back or grabbing them to stop them playing.

    I remember Fernandes 'going down easily' against Wigan in the FA Cup and the pundits were agreeing that contact, albeit minimal, meant it was a penalty
