DERMOT SAYS: I think it’s totally different. In the Wolves-West Ham game, the player was challenging the goalkeeper, he was not playing the ball. He was a threat to the goalkeeper and the goalkeeper was impeded.
STEPHEN WARNOCK SAYS: It’s the difference between Bernardo Silva being clever and Kilman being a threat. Silva is not being a threat, he’s not trying to block Sa. He’s just trying to confuse him and get out of the way.
SUE SMITH SAYS: Silva is being clever, using his experience to gain an advantage. Kilman was trying to impede the goalkeeper in the Wolves-West Ham incident. It’s a subtle difference, but an important one.
DERMOT SAYS: I think if you saw it in real time, it’s a penalty. But when you slow it down, you can see Alexander-Arnold’s studs catch Sancho’s foot and he goes over. I think the referee and VAR have missed that one.
STEPHEN WARNOCK SAYS: It’s a penalty. Alexander-Arnold clearly catches Sancho’s foot and he goes down.
SUE SMITH SAYS: I agree, it should have been a penalty for Chelsea.
DERMOT SAYS: It’s a good call by the referee. Saliba is the wrong side. It’s a clear goalscoring opportunity. It’s a definite red card.
SUE SMITH SAYS: It’s a red card. Saliba is the last man. He’s not making a genuine attempt to win the ball. It’s the correct decision.
STEPHEN WARNOCK SAYS: It’s a red card. He’s not looking at the ball and he takes the man out. It’s a clear goalscoring opportunity. It’s the right decision.
