You knew as soon as Vertonghen went to ground he would catch Costa, far too risky going to ground against a player with that pace.

lucky spurs... that looked a penalty.
Looked like a pen but the Juve player didn't go down when he should've.
It was stupid of Vertonghen to go to the ground there but, not a penalty.
wow, so stonewall.
Went down late, probably within his rights to do so, but the contact didn't cause him to fall IMV. Could have been a pen, as the two handball incidences in the Juve box previously.
What's the thought process here actually? If it's not a pen wouldn't he have to think it's a dive and book Costa?
Lol. Clear pen. The goal line assistants are worse than useless.
How are Spurs that lucky game after game?Are you the ref's son or something?
Crazy to go to ground like that against Costa who's rapid. Clear penalty.
Three referees standing within 20 meters of the situation
The Chiellini one? That would have been an insanely harsh penalty.
Hope you're joking
He cleared Vertonghen then decided to allow himself to fall after realizing the ball was out of reach. Good call from the ref.
Penalty box referees are basically paid to watch matches. Ridiculous not to have the balls to call for the pen there
Lol, goal referee for the win yet again.
Had to double check and make sure Michael Oliver wasnt the ref.
Would take half an hour, then they would award the pen, by which time the player taking it will be sufficiently disoriented enough to miss it.
Now we see more!
Oo no pen?!
Clearly a penalty.
I don't even understand the thinking of the referee.
Either he tought he got the ball, so it's a corner.
Or he did touch him, so it's a penalty.
Or he didn't touch him, so it's a dive and a yellow.

Wow... that’s a clear penalty
Wow....Tottenham got lucky there. That's either a penalty or a corner kick. The fact that they called a goal kick says that the defender didn't get the ball. I'm going for Tottenham here but that was brutal. What is the point of the assistant behind the goal if he's not going to call a foul that's right in front of him?
Need gifs of those penalty calls
Absolutely shocking from the officials. The assistant was staring right at it.
I think he's just there to make sure each blade of grass is of equal length and is doing a fine job I must say. Didn't let a penalty claim distract him for a second.
The recovery speed of Sanchez there.
Prince Harry will deliver. He always does.
My favourite player these days. Everything about him. His persona, attitude. His 4/10 looking wife.
Just a proper talented normal bloke. Rare these days.

100% penalty. Vertonghen caught Costa's trailing leg.
Honestly that's how i seen it but didn't endure the wrath.
Exactly.
There's tons of contact. Crap tackle, penalty every day.
Exactly what I was thinking. Absolutely brutal refereeing...
Because veryonghen put his studs all over his heels...
Damn great match
Sanchez... beast.
Wow spurs got away with that one. Higuain looks like he's been hanging around with luke shaw
this is going to be one hell of a game between spurs and juve.
Definitely penalty as he was clipped twice. Perhaps the player starting to sprawl a bit before contact distracted the officials?
