That has to be the worst decision I have ever seen. Dumfries got a yellow as well. Dumbfounded.
This. End of thread.You can't challenge for a waist high ball with your leg extended leading with your studs. It's a foul anywhere else on the pitch.
Kane definitely embellished it but it's a foul.
Exactlynot for me
Keepers never penalised for follow through if shot is away. How many times have you seen a striker shoot and an onrushing keeper make contact.
Even contact is debatable- Kane seems to follow thru onto him
What is being impeded if it doesn’t affect the shot? The attack has been allowed till its completion without any illegitimate action disrupting it. Unless there’s malice involved like an elbow thrown or a stamp, I don’t see any reason for a penalty especially when it’s just a 50/50 rather than him being scythed down.Getting your shot away doesn't mean you haven't been fouled. That logic has never made any sense to me.

Swedish TV found pictures of Bukayo Saka clearly handballing the ball just before the incident - so no...that was not a penalty
Super slo-mos often create a false sense of intentionality and this is a classic case of that.
Watching in real time, Saka cuts in from the right to shoot on his left, and the ball is blocked and ricochets onto his body, possibly hitting his hand. But with the pace Saka is running at, and the fact that he's just hit the ball, a deliberate handball just does not seem plausible to me.
The penalty for me was 100% correct. Reckless, studs up, high boot, and nowhere near the ball. It's a late challenge that basically stops Kane from keeping his shot down.
Absolutely terrible decision.
The only reason the contact happens is because of Kane’s follow through.
He’s already taken the shot and the ball is gone.
