Some of Arsenals finishing is terrible.

Sanchez can barely make contact with the ball in front of goal.

Attackers can't just run into defenders and get a foul, it's a contact sport.

This is called obstruction. It results in free kicks. Whether the defender has meant to obstruct the player is neither here not there, but it's still a foul. Same goes with the given penalty today. Vardy has no obligation not to be tripped up.

 

[omnomnom]

I saw it as a trip hence why I thought it was a penalty. If it was obstruction then it wouldn't be a penalty, it would be a free kick.

 

[Cosimo]

Dont believe it 2-1

 

[Nate75]

Stupid foul to give away there - hope it doesn't cost them

 

[Robbo]

Welbeck of all people.

 

[Nate75]

wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwww

welbeck

 

[Fulax]

Unbelievably stupid foul to concede.

Edit: oh dear Leicester

 

[BaZ87]

that's not vardys job so you're saying because the defender has stood in his way, vardy has to get out of the way?

No I didn't say that. I said that Vardy has in effect kicked Monreal, not the other way round. It was a very clever dive by Vardy imo.

 

[Steedie]

That's the moment that will break Leicester and their title hopes.

GET THE **** IN!!

Yea and it's not obstruction. Vardy runs into the defender and goes down to con the ref.

 

[G-MAN2004]

Welbeck of all people.

 

[No1newts]

Despicable.

 

[Stumble Bum]

Hahahahaha Leicester

 

[antijoke]

That was a stupid foul to give away in a dangerous place.

Let's hope it's not the moment that destroys Leicester. It's still theirs to throw away.

 

[smr]

Ffs. Top of the league tho.

 

[mmj_uk]

Feel sorry for Leicester, especially as the referee bottled the 2nd Mahrez penalty.

 

[Rids]

Chat ****, get banged.
