Arsenal 1:3 Manchester United

Sassy Colin · Dec 2, 2017

Penalty wouldn't have been harsh

Darkhorsez · Dec 2, 2017

How is not that a red -last man - freaking commentary saying that Bellerin with his pace would have been there. Just a joke of a ref. Not saying that Pogba’s red was not the right call but shocking. At least he made up for it on the pen call.

Fergies Gum · Dec 2, 2017

We got away with that

Ludens the Red · Dec 2, 2017

Darmian trying to sabotage, there's a surprise.

dileno · Dec 2, 2017

Wow lucky with the penalty call there

It won't be appealed. It's a blatant red.

"Blatant"

Clueless some people are I tell you

:lol:

Red1968 · Dec 2, 2017

Just watched it again on Slow mo. It looks like Pogba is anticipating a bounce up from the ball, raises his toes up, hits the ball first because of that then carries into Bellerin. BTW Bellerin is making one of the most bizarre attempts at a tackle I have ever seen. He turns to the side then sticks his leg back and to the side with knee on the grass?? why on earth would you do that on purpose? Very odd

EricaNo7 · Dec 2, 2017

For God's sake Mcamanaman shut up. I can not bear to listen to such inane Scouse drivel

Annihilate Now! · Dec 2, 2017

That's Darmian for you

JG3001 · Dec 2, 2017

Last man, should be off, don’t agree at all that Bellerin was covering. Pundits talk shite

pseudo_canadian · Dec 2, 2017

I despise referees

R'hllor · Dec 2, 2017

Darmian ... chance after chance after chance, amazing

Pyroblazer · Dec 2, 2017

Thank god the ref is shit today, could have been a pen.

And they'd be dumbasses, which most people are.

Here is why I don't think it's a clear red. Pogba was mid stride when Bellerin slide under him. There was literally nothing Pogba could do to avoid it. It's like, you're at a gun range, and someone jumps in front of your bullet. Are you culpable for suicidal behavior?

I don't know if its a red or not, I do know if you say it's 100% no questions a red, then you lack the ability to grasp the nuance of situations. There are things called mitigating circumstances. When someone slides under your foot while you are literally mid stride, and you're not out of control, you're not making a challenge and you trod on them, is that a red card? Are you sure?

Again, it doesn't matter if it's accidental (which I don't think it was). People seem to be unaware of the rules of dangerous and reckless play.

Sunny Jim · Dec 2, 2017

That was a pen, also Koscielny should have been sent off.

"Those men were just standing in the way of my bullets is all."

I'd agree if Pogba happened to whip out his air rifle to take a pot shot at Bellerin's hammy.

dannyrhinos89 · Dec 2, 2017

Yeah that’s a clear pen

Random Task · Dec 2, 2017

That's a penalty :lol:

jojojo · Dec 2, 2017

Squeaky bum time

peridigm · Dec 2, 2017

Pogba card aside, we've been incredibly lucky many times this match.

Lucky tonight

AXVnee7 · Dec 2, 2017

What are you doing Darmian? Luckily we got away with it! Poor performance from the ref overall

redIndianDevil · Dec 2, 2017

Nice lad welbeck, didn't make much of a fuss about it and got on. Lucky escape.

Drifter · Dec 2, 2017

That was a pen

DOTA · Dec 2, 2017

Shocking decision not to give that.

Offside · Dec 2, 2017

Can’t understand how that wasn’t a red on Lukaku. That was also a penalty. Two bad calls from the ref there.

Cassidy · Dec 2, 2017

Definite pen

How is that not last man?

"Because Bellerin could have made up the ground with his pace" apparently. Now refs compute individual pace apparently, while ignoring that he may have made it up because the whole manhandling allowed him to get back with a chance.

Bullshit.

It can but it probably won't be and even if it is it'll be rejected.

SER19 · Dec 2, 2017

A horror show from ref for almost all of this match, both ways

Trophy Room · Dec 2, 2017

These kinds of games have the ability to define seasons. Its such a shame our best player is out for 3 games in December.

Akshay · Dec 2, 2017

Ref is struggling to manage this game now.

dileno · Dec 2, 2017

At least Pogba gets some rest. Played a few full games after just coming back from injury.

It doesn't matter if you disagree. Those are the rules. Going in with studs on a player is dangerous play.

He went studs up to reach for the ball, accidental is my biased conclusion.

kouroux · Dec 2, 2017

Smalling

ffs

Kevin · Dec 2, 2017

Another possible pen.

pltan · Dec 2, 2017

Smallings composure gone

"Last man" is not a thing. Was he denied a "clear goalscoring opportunity"? Perhaps but he was barely in their half.

ManUnitedCanuck · Dec 2, 2017

How between a ref and a linesman do they not determine that is a red on Lukaku

Guy Incognito · Dec 2, 2017

Lots of strange decisions.

Random Task · Dec 2, 2017

"Romelu Lukaku with a heavy first touch"

First time we've heard that one.

Ban · Dec 2, 2017

I'm calling it now, we're winning this.
