Keown on commentary is gold now, thanks 
Premier League Festive Season

BBC saying it was a 2nd yellow, but it didn't look like he showed a yellow for it. Just a red
But it was definitely a bookable offence, so if it was a 2nd yellow then there can't be any complaints. Straight red would be harsh, but it would make no difference to the context of the game, just the ban afterwards. And probably a bit more added on now for the sarcastic clapping.

Agree. Both the tackle and the shirt pull were relatively minor but in combination there was more than enough for that to be a foul/penalty
Anyone got a clip of Gabriel spoiling the penalty spot?
I go to take a lateral flow test and forget that the second half has started. What the feck has happened?!
You can’t get more Arsenal than this. Absolutely dominate against the champions while playing some sexy football, go a goal ahead, concede a soft, debatable penalty and then get a red after collectively losing their heads. In all likelihood, City will just bore them into conceding the winner now.
Straight out the Wenger playbook.

Yeah, missed that. Clearly correct to send him of then.
He does, he grabs his shirt as Bernardo is going down. It’s as if he’s trying to keep him up! It’s ridiculous, that’s always a pen and it’s due to stupiditySwings him? Come on. It was incredibly stupid to grab the shirt but there wasn't at all enough in any of it to cause Bernardo to go down.
Anyway what I am doing, I should be laughing at Arsenal arsenaling this up
Holding's hair transplant is top notch.
He did. He was booked for scuffing the pen spot just before that
Thought it was wrestling for a second, looked like a clothesline!
Must be infuriating given City are never booked for those fouls. Absolute meltdown when in control.
Gabriel second yellow card against Man City 59'
I was talking in general with this instance. For me there was a clear foul even before the shirt being pulled but if Silva didn't throw himself, the whole thing isn't looked at
It is indeed. Putting that money to good use !
Not sure how he's losing it? Correct decisions...not his fault Arsenal are losing the plot.
Is it another of those "contact, so he is entitled to go down" scenarios
Ramsdale ringing in a 30 minute long time wasting festival
In addition a player can dive and it still be a penalty, it’s not one or the other.
Arsenal keep going on about how hard done they are, yet players like Xhaka don't cover themselves in glory.
The only reason they are in contention for top four is because they play once a week like Henry said.
Keown actually claiming the ref is biased
Nathan Aké goal line clearance against Arsenal (City feck up first)
Best one I've seen among footballers
Amazing to see an Arsenal player using a towel to dry the ball for a free kick!
After all their moans about Stoke back in the day.

Did Robbie buy BT Sport? What’s with the bitterness?
Contact does not and should not equal foul.
one of the best scientific improvements of the last 10 years. Insane to think people like Conte were balder than a baby’s bum.
It's Keown. Whinger in Chief.
Arsenal tactical fouls are immediate yellows. City's however go unpunished. Not just this game either.
How anyone can argue it wasn't a pen when the guy has a fist full of shirt!
Not to mention what's going on with the legs too.

amazing how City get away with itIt never does.
They’ve got a few oddballs in the team.
so you’re admitting there wouldn’t be enough for a penalty without the dive - hence why it’s annoying.
Penalties are given out far too softly these days. You might as well not even bother trying to tackle players in the box anymore .
Klopp tests positive for Covid and will miss the Chelsea game
The commentators seemed to think Holding's cynical drag back when DB was on the run was harsh! Amazing.
It was like a ref educational video of what should be a yellow!
Oh yeah, I saw that. Just didn't see the ref show a 2nd yellow for the Gabriel Jesus foul. Looked like he just went straight for the red. TV coverage might've missed it since they were playing catch-up after the Martinelli miss.
Where's the clear foul apart from the shirt pull? He throws himself over the leg, if that's a pen the game is gone.
Stupid from Xhaka to have the leg out but hate seeing dives excused due to the defender 'creating an opportunity for it'.
I'd be furious if that was against us.
100% penalty upcoming here. It was fun while it lasted and Arsenal did put in a heroic performance to try and slow City down which benefits everyone in the long run.
Whilst Xhaka is still on the pitch. There is always a chance he can mess up a teams work
