[Albion] Manchester City vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[Yoda]

The fact that Silva's had to stick his leg out to a near 45 degree angle to make sure there's contact should mean it's him that's instigated the contact and therefore should never be a penalty.

Lamptey on, the Llama off

Perhaps get more width and speed?

 

[Bodian]

Not really. What VAR should have done was go with the on-field ref's decision as it was borderline. As they did earlier and for the first goal, where they decided Haaland knocking over Webster wasn't clear enough to intervene.

That's the thing for me. If it takes that long to check, it can't have been clear and obvious.

Oh - I notice that City are back to their usual ways of committing niggly fouls when we pick up the ball near our penalty area and look to break.

Trossard

[boik]

Tross you beauty!

 

[Bodian]

Hang on....

How can VAR rule this out - bet they'll give it a go.

Haaland 2-1 Brighton

We’re still in this!!!

 

[maltaseagull]

We actually scored and won a freekick!
Not sure what is most surprising.

 

[Bodian]

Assist from March.?

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

Thought that had hit the side netting at first. Get in.

 

[Coldeanseagull]

11 man Brighton get a goal back against the professional referees association

 

[Jeremiah]

City wonder goalie beaten at near post !

 

[R. Slicker]

Expecting VAR to disallow that at 60 mins.

 

[Deleted member 2719]

Ederson being beaten on his near post is lovely to see, poor keeping, well done Tross.
