If that was in the 70th min, he’s walking. Only stayed on cos it was so early and the VAR didn’t want the headlines

I mean he should have been sent off but glad he wasn’t. The city tears, especially Pep’s, after the whistle - inject it into my veins.

Why should he have been sent off? Handling the ball outside the area is only a sending off offence when it’s done to prevent a clear cut scoring opportunity. As Haaland was heading away from goal that wasn’t the case. It would be a caution if the action was deliberate but even that was debatable.

He was heading away from goal because Henderson batted the ball in that direction.

I honestly didn't understand a thing here. Why are all laws worded so weirdly? 😒😒😒

Make contact? He swatted it away 🤣

Why do you say “appear” while posting a photo of him clearly handling that ball outside of the box? He was lucky to stay on. Despite that call, he had a great game made plenty of excellent saves
