Captain Dunk chasing Ismaila Sarr from the left touchline at the half-way line from 10 yards behind, catching him outside the area, giving away a free kick but centimetres away from winning the ball cleanly.
Captain Fantastic (and the brown dirt cowboy).

I thought Dunk looked almost back to his best, but still a little off the pace. That could easily have been a penalty

1. He was only 10 yards behind because he fell for the dummy in the first place
2. Great recovery run, but clumsy tackle that could very easily have been a penalty
3. It cost him a yellow, that very easily could have led to a red for a handball on halfway, not spotted / given
4. The incident you are talking about was Dennis, not Sarr. Sarr wasn’t even on the pitch.

Apart from that, yes, agree.

I don't agree about the tackle. Dennis (my mistake) turned across him and he was literally centimetres away from toeing the ball away.

Almost kicking the ball isn't the same as actually kicking the ball.

No he didn’t
Lampety hacked down all game only two yellows should of been four at least one of the worst refs in league

Don't agree. Yellow for the tackle on Lamptey not red. I agree it was a revenge tackle, but
it wasn't a leg-breaker come on.

Lampey himself later took someone out running back and got the same.

The fact that Les Dennis left him for dead (Dustin Gee style) at the halfway line and he still got back to snuff out the danger (albeit at the expense of a freekick) is what made it ICONIC in my eyes. Dunk doesn't have the pace of Lamptey but he flew back.

My two were THAT tackle by Veltman and Maupay tracking all the way back to make a tackle :thumbsup:

Mine were Lallana’s calm control throughout the match, Veltman’s class and aggression and Duffy’s joy at being part of the winning team.

Edit
Actually the iconic moment was the fantastic rendition of Go Left in the second half
