But that second argument is clearly nonsense since TAA's 25 feet away, looking directly at it and moving his arm towards the ball. If they're adjudicating on the basis of that alone then it's a terrible decision.They are not arguing the first one because the second one was not deemed punishable. If it was, they would have to include the first one, and award Liverpool a fk.
Also, if MOTD reporting is to be believed then in PGMOL's own words the Silva handball wasn't applicable not because they'd already adjudicated on other grounds but because it didn't result in an actual goal. I can see the argument why it should (since it leads to a penalty that could be converted), but that seems not to be the official position. Maybe they'll clarify this in due course.
