Did you see the penalty given against them in the Brighton match?
Shocking decision when you have the use of VAR.
That two points could be massive in the context of the league title.
Liverpool will lose two or three and some draws. Arsenal have to be almost flawless, so very difficult task ahead of them. Not impossible though.
From a neutrals perspective I thought the penalty was the correct call. There is no difference whether it is the foot or the head as Saliba was late. Yes Arsenal have to be flawless until the end of the season and why it is against them and I do not think Arteta and this squad has it in them.
You're missing a vital point man.
Saliba made contact with the ball. So 100% not a penalty.

Only after Pedro headed the ball first so he right call was a penalty. You are looking from an Arsenal fans perspective and why you cannot see this. This is as clear as day.

We'll have to agree to disagree.
Whether it was Liverpool, City or Arsenal, my opinion would be the same.
It's not a penalty.
I suspect you've never seen a pen given in these circumstances before?
I certainly haven't and we wont see it again.
It was the WRONG decision in my opinion. The refs always back each other, but ask any football fan, if thats a pen and vast majority will say no.
Yes agree to disagree even though I have never seen this before. I am a rugby referee and not a football referee and have no bias to any team. I saw contact before he played the ball and why I feel it has to be the right call and nothing else would have been right.
