Mbeumo did not hit the woodwork, and wins it for the Bees in stoppage time. Ill advised penalty by the Hornets.
It’s been 18 minutes and Moss has already ignored like 10 fouls. May have left his whistle at home
Is Jimenez brain damaged from that knock to his head last year? That is in the top 5 stupidest things I have ever seen.
Did I miss a memo? For the past couple of weeks the commentary teams have been treating Traore like he’s peak Messi. This pair had the balls to say they don’t understand why he doesn’t score more goals. It’s like they don’t actually watch him play.
Foden scares the shit out of me- he’s going to unlock this.

It’s the third “handball”in the match and it’s the least one by far and Moss calls a pen. Idiotic
How on earth is that a penalty? Makes no sense to me.
What a gift for City. As if they needed the help.

Honestly, if he keeps his arm down it hits him in the arm. Instead, he gets his arm out of the way, hits him in the side, and it's called a handball. Yikes.
So .. if the ball hits Moutinho in the armpit and then ricochets to his outstretched arm is that a PEN? That seems like the only way that could be resolved?
It’s the perfect storm of a truly bad ref, a very awkward movement and the silly Var rules. It looked a handball live so the crap ref gives it and the coward Var can’t overturn
Agree not a penalty to me. Although they made a change recently about “making yourself bigger” as intent. Wonder if that was the reasoning.
edit: found this.
“The IFAB have now confirmed that a handball will be awarded if a player makes his body an "unnatural silhouette", i.e. making his body bigger with his arm. It is also automatically an offence if the arm is above shoulder height.”

Yeah Soccermaniac has it correct above. Var can't overturn the decision since its close. Its on Moss for making the call.
I kind of feel bad for Wolves here. They've had 10 guys in their box the whole half.

Rough two games for Wolves. They’ve played really well and had hard luck losses to Liverpool and Man City. Origi with the goal last week and Jon Moss beating them this week.
I know we are both biased but you must be joking. Moss waved off 4 or 5 penalties today that are often given. He gave the wrong one but Wolves played 11 and 10 behind the ball and were allowed to foul openly for first 20 minutes
Only saw the second half. Saw the replay of the penalty shout from the first half … no way that was a PEN.
City were by miles the better team. They didn’t need the help.
Norwich could/should have had at least a point. Utd goal was a very iffy penalty on CR7, Norwich were swarming in the last 20 minutes and only DDG standing on his head kept the Canaries out. Norwich have quietly become a tough out, unfortunately too little too late probably.
Why would it be too late? There are 22 matches left and they are three points from safety.
VAR not covering itself in glory this weekend. Two decisions that should have been overturned today and weren’t. At least one if not two or three from yesterday.
