79 OFFSIDE NOR C Robert Snodgrass is played offside by Bacary Sagna from a ball by Steven Whittaker 1
81 CORNER NOR C Robert Snodgrass concedes a corner kick. Much debate if it was a corner or not but there was no conclusive camera angle to prove the ball had crossed the line before Snodgrass touched it. So we go with the decision of the ref 1
82 FOUL NOR C Kei Kamara Commits a Regular foul. Kamara pulled the shirt of Giroud and the fact the ref missed it and the assistant gave it makes no difference. It was a foul and you could see his shirt clearly being pulled on the replays. So a correct decision 1

  1. Good review. It’s interesting to see the difference between the reality and the media narrative of cheating Arsenal.

    One query–in minute 61, Arteta is penalized for a ‘dangerous foul’ but there is no indication of whether or not he was booked. I think some clarification is needed.

    Cheers, and keep up the good work!

  4. No not really a high foot for the ball but coming a bit close to the head of an opponent who came from behind him.
