Former Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher claims that the match officials in Arsenal's clash against Southampton made the right decision surrounding a penalty call that didn't go the Gunners' way. Brazilian striker Gabriel Jesus appeared to have been fouled when Saints defender Duje Caleta-Car pulled him back by the waist.
The forward managed to stay on his feet, however, the appeals for a penalty afterwards were not given as his side went on to draw 1-1 in a frustrating tie. Jesus then discussed the decision with the ref, which he said after the game: "I spoke with him straight after, and he said, 'if you go down before, maybe I can give a penalty.
"But I think I was fair. I tried to hold and keep standing and tried to finish the action, but in the end, he grabbed me, and it was impossible, so I go down normally. But that is not the reason why we don't win the game, and we had a lot of chances."
