The most egregious part to this is the following week City earned a penalty for this similar incident with the defender even closer to the attacking player. And I recall there was another similar incident within a week or two that also earned the attacking side a penalty with the defender closer to the attacker than Romero was in his incident.

Arsenal?
We need theFA to learn from referee and VAR that was in place at Anfield today. Let Premier League referees learn from them. If not, start taking referees from other countries to take charge of games in Premier League. Difference of level is just amazing.
No strange VAR decision, no 10+ min extra time, no made up rules, no nonsens.

So true….
Think Arsenal got a pen against Spurs?
Most surprising part of that video was seeing that Jean Michael Seri scored for Hull.
Wtf?
I would support a review system of 5 a season. Not bloody 1 each half like Linekar suggested.
VAR should only be for the major big howler. We can't have a perfect 100% decision making process as everything is not always black or white.
If you give each club 5 reviews (and if you don't waste it and it's correct then you can keep that review) we will only stop for the major howlers. Furthermore, when players get angry and go nuts at a referee - the ref can easily tell them if they are so confident to use a review.
The review would have to be initiated by either the goalkeeper (who would have the best view) or the captain, and be done within a few seconds of the ball hitting the net.
Taking away fans rite to celebrate is killing the game.

The worst part is that the only reason he is somewhat close to the ball is becauae he threw himself with arms raised into that position. So the fault is 100% on the defender.
Nothing can defend that decision.
It's not intentional hand ball and it doesn't meet the guidance for making your body bigger , exactly.
I really think they should empathise hand ball has to be deliberate and all the rest is just bullshit about on if a movement is "on purpose" gaining an advantage.
He goes into the challwnge with his arma raised like a handball keeper. Either intentional or he’s an idiot.
It doesnt need to be intentional the arm just needs to be in an un-natural position which it was, clear penalty for any club except us.
Somebody please post the video of Reinildo trying to punt Savinho into midfield 
Atletico - Girona
We should just abolish refs at this point

The 2 pens given in the Copenhagen v Utd game earlier this season showcased the problems with the current interpretation, even if you think they are pens the punishment is ridiculously harsh for an inadvertent action.
Neither were pens, nor was the one given to Utd in the FA Cup final, the one not given against Spurs was blatant.

Dodgy Burnley keeper…..
Dermot Gallagher will 100% be declaring that hand ball incorrect.
There’s going to be apologies at the final whistle and a weeks worth of scousers crying in the media talking about it in the build up to matches United aren’t involved in.

Clear penalty. Put his arm wide. Didn’t have time to put them back. He knew that.
At least VAR is consistent now. Basically not getting involved 90% of the time it seems.
Where do they get these refs from? He is guessing most of his decisions.
That freekick they got from our corner was pure imagination.
Bournemouth goalie carried on at the referee AFTER his yellow.
Where was his second yellow?

No way that’s a pen. It’s a free kick outside the area
What's the rule on the foul continuing into the box? I genuinley have no idea.
It is Dalot rule. Only for Dalot.
It will never again be seen. Unless it’s a United player
To be honest on replay i'm not even sure it's a foul, but yeah, outside the box and good use of VAR for once
Christie just ran into him.
Agree, he just runs in to him.
The referee made three very suspect decisions. The Dalot free kick for having his shirt pulled. AWB for winning the ball. Maguire for existing at a corner.
You can't rule out match fixing / fixed betting when you see decisions that unusual.
Booting the ball away and running into a defender isn't a fecking foul.
Ita not new, it’s been around for years.
Yep. Tbf live it looked like an obvious foul anf VAR can't change the decision once it's established it's outside the box. Because the drunken bozos on trycicles said so
(Not that they would have corrected the call anyways because don't wanna make a mate look bad innit
)Ehh … not sure we should be the ones complaining today.
I didn't say it was new. I said I didn't understand it!
Why?
Because we got our point thanks to a very soft penalty, the kind that hasn’t been given all season in the Premier League.
He was a terrible ref for both sides.
He literally gave us a goal kick for the clearest deflection you're likely to see.

I don't think either were penalties today, but we have been on the wrong end before so I'll take it.
And you’re certain that the problem here is not your perception?! Every fan in the world can name multiple bad decisions given against their own team. Who is it that they’re all wrong and you’re right?!
