Amazing dive he does.

Would make little difference. He touched the ball, didn't win the ball. Big difference.
Knew the cafe would bitterly protest that a guy skimming a ball but taking the man out wasn't a pen.
Didn't his touch make his teammate the favorite to win the ball though?
What do you expect?
Anyone but Liverpool for me, chief.
arsenal closing down very well
I don't see it would lessen its importance. It would a better sense of the situation for the ref.
Going to the screens doesn't mean they will overturn it necessarily.
Does the wording specifically state you have to win the ball? And do you have to gain possession? Because one could argue he dispossessed Jesus and then took him out with the follow through without endangering him.
They are a very well coached team alright.
Rice was such a no brainer signing, sigh.
Trying to walk the ball into the net.. imagine if they actually shot the ball 
This ref is really really really bad.
You'd be moaning if that was given against you though wouldn't you?
Seems a bit harsh if you're a defender. The slightest of touches constitute a foul now, but the slightest of touches on the ball doesn't get the same treatment.
If that happens tomorrow with Garnacho every Utd fan would say pen.
Pointless to moan about ref decision. If the team is good enough then it will find a way to score.
Honestly, no i wouldn't. Glazing the ball and taking out the player's leg is a pen. Jesus often exagerate and is prone to diving but this is a very tame one. He definitely got hit with enough force to warrant a foul.
And if that was Dalot most would be defending him.
Slightly grazing the ball doesn't mean anything, it's about winning it. Jesus still has possession if he doesn't get cleaned out.
If the defender gets enough of the ball to actually dispossess Jesus, it's not a pen.
Arsenal created 4 big chances in first half. Just need to be more clinical.
Right.. I'll bookmark this for future use.
Also, what utter cobblers these "experts" are chatting. He gets enough on the ball to alter the direction.. it shouldn't matter whether Jesus would have been able to get on to the end of it.. that's the point of winning the ball isn't it? The more you see it the worse it is.
ftfy
You can search my comment history to see if I ever moan about ref decision. No need to book mark.
Imagine if Rashford had Saka's mentality and level of consistency.
Sure. Any help is appreciated obviously.
It's not as black and white as you make it out to be. Lamptey's touch does knock the ball out of Jesus' stride slightly and it's entirely feasible Adingra can reach it.
Honestly, I’ll be accused of being biased but that’s a stonewall penalty for me, and I’d say that if it was against my team as well.
There’s been plenty of occasions players have tackled and got slight touches on the ball but wipe a player out and a penalty is given.
You just can’t get a slight touch while wiping a player out.
I agree with you however think we could play reserves in the Conference if it came to that.
Branthwaite back to his best today. Was class.
I think it's pretty harsh, we're talking fractions of a second really. How much more contact would deem that an "OK" tackle? It's very subjective.
Imagine Zinckenko gives that away on Garnacho and it costs you the title. Maybe you have much better control of your emotions than me, but I'd be absolutely sickened.
Ben White suffering from a bit of latency there
Aww, Ben White was worried a bit of his tan had come off.
The ball was very close to Jesus, and it's entirely feasible he'd get first to it. It's no different from if he had a slighty bad touch and Lamptey just took him out without touching the ball.
Ben White got his tan smudged.
Cnut should be booked for diving.
Cnut should be booked for diving.
Is it raining there?
It is embarrassing from Ben White, if Bruno did that we won’t here the end of it
If that was a South American we'd hear about it being cutural....
Saw him get done far too easily at one point in the first half. He spends as much time on his arse as he does on his feet.
People in here actually debating the pen? 
Jesus (pun intended) it was an obvious pen ffs.
Also, come on Arsenal! Anyone but City and Pool. Nice to see a proper club back on top.
