Amazing that Lindelof escaped a red after literally kicking Nketiah in the head.

If that’s Casemiro there would be a week long debate. Different story with Saka

We aren’t getting a decision at the Emirates today. It’s best to accept it.

It’s a nasty one from saka.

But I’m unsure why if it’s in the act of getting fouled himself there’s no mitigation? You either take into account that he’s being fouled and ignore it, or if you’re going to punish him, you then retroactively give the free kick to us?!

Nketiah bowed his head down so it's not a red.

Not that it would've been a red anyway considering the Jota and Haaland incidents from last season, or Shaw and Azpilicueta being forcefully kicked in the head by bicycle kick attempts.

Always felt that Anthony Taylor is a fair official

What are United fans going to moan about now??

Right decision to overturn it to be fair

Dive for me, not enough for a pen.

Over compensation from Taylor...

Taylor shouldnt be on United games. Our record with him is awful and var have saved us there. Saka arguably a red too.

Gary Neville is bat shit insane
He’s got some of the weirdest takes. Starting to believe the stories about him being fed talking points from someone on staff during his early days on Sky Sports.

Neville trying so hard to be impartial he ends up being biased against United.

He’s still going on about it. Change of policy or some bullshit.
He needs taken off our games for his own good

You’ve got to be fair to him if you’re going to criticise him, that looked like a penalty on first watch. Two players sandwiched him and he broke through them and his legs looked like they were scissored

VAR has absolutely killed football. We’ve now lost so many legendary moments because on a few millimetres.
