It hit Fabinhos knee, no one tries to make a tackle with the knee, therefore it isn't deliberate play on the ball = correct decision, as much I wish it would have ruled in.

Making them cut to the studio would also be very stressful for the people in the studio. It's not a normal situation and to blame someone for the actions during the events would be worse than what they displayed in the feed. It was really painful to watch the feed when they switched to the...

The goal scorer Joel Pohjanpalo also said on finnish TV that both teams were asked if they wanted to continue to play the game AFTER they were told that Eriksen was stable and talking. He also said it was Eriksens wish that they would finish the game.
