The Premier League's Independent Key Match Incidents Panel has ruled the referee and the VAR were correct to award Newcastle United's winning goal against Arsenal.
I agree with your reasoning as to why it’s unfolded how it has but I don’t agree that people think this a foul cause they’re holding on to something that may seem more substantial.
It easy to think that considering there’s 3 more controversies that people will move until something sticks but the foul was the last part of that sequence which is why it may of took a bit of time to get to in peoples heads.
Force of the push is subjective. We could speculate all day. But two hands on the back is objective. Which I was always taught that’s a foul.
When a defender is in a tricky spot with the ball at his feet. They will fall to the ground with a tap. 99 times out of a 100 it’s a foul. And no cares cause that’s just how it is. Joelinton gave more than enough reason for that to be a foul and had the other 3 calls (out of bounds, handball, offside) hadnt of existed, this would still be as controversial.
