Former Premier League referee Chris Foy has explained why Arsenal were awarded a penalty against Manchester City. Eddie Nketiah collided with Ederson inside the box after unleashing a strike goal-bound from a tight angle.
The Gunners striker was chasing a loose pass in behind with Kyle Walker in his tracks. As the airborne ball dropped to be struck, Ederson launched himself into Nketiah's stride as if he was doing a jumping-jack.
In the view of Anthony Taylor, the on-field referee, the City shot-stopper impeded the Hale End graduate. The decision was checked by the Video Assistant Referee team, David Coote and his assistant Marc Perry, but they found no reason to overturn Taylor's decision.
