That looked like he was clipped by Rice. Blind eye to the imaginary yellow card as well.
Balotelli......that's a brilliant finish.

Oh, Arsenal will still have eleven, Ayew playing for them.
Throws a leg out there, and the bullshit continues. High bar, clear and obvious, the pundits just brush it under.
Don’t know how Ayew has forged a career at pl level. He’s woeful every time I watch Palace.

Ok the sending off was harsh. Havertz should have been booked for time wasting at the throw and then the shirt pull on Ayew

Same here. He must be thinking how he’s got away with pretending to be a footballer, never mind a firward.

I don’t think it was harsh, just a consequence of their niggly, timewatsting tactics and them being absolute cunts.

Think it was harsh on Tomiyasu. Havertz was the main culprit with the time wasting at the throw and Tomiyasu barely touched Ayew for the second. Havertz got away with a blatant shirt pull almost straight after they went down to ten. He’s finally been booked for kicking the ball away. In my opinion he should have walked & not Tomiyasu.

23 seconds for the throw in, should have booked them both.

Fair points, mate, but it seemed to be the whole that led to the individual going. Take time to do throw-in, pass the ball on and then take even longer to do so. Definition of wasting time and the ref would look a twat after warning them so many times. Then the individual niggly fouls, and further time wasting, at some point he had to take action. Note that it took a long time for the second yellow to be pulled and it was only after the pundits called it harsh, did the narrative change.
Like I said earlier, this Arsenal team is very hard to like and even though I thought they were the best team for the start of last season, they truly riled me with their obvious tactics of wasting time, diving, mid-game tactic talks and the general attitude of their (never to be mentioned along with MCFC) shit-Cunt manager.

Not paid for it for many years and usually watch on the PL channel. Never watch anything but the game as we all know it will all be about the red tops with the slags of football trying to sell you the red top dream, accompanied by a talking head for ‘real independence’.
Sky don’t have sports channels, they sell entertainment and have turned the PL into WWE.

Just seen that we're now the only team to have not conceded a goal in the league to date.

Just watched the highlights from last night.
Any reason why Eze didn’t get a penalty?
Did VAR look at Partey holding one of their players to stop them getting to the player that got the penalty for them?
The sending off seemed harsh.
Arsenal looked fuckin shite.

Yes, Eze doesn't play for Arsenal.
No.
Yes it was harsh.
They looked OK, interesting to see how they cope with more defensive set ups this season, they might struggle a bit there. Rice got huge praise, but truth is he played OK. Nothing as fantastic as the media would have you think.

I did see Rice getting a lot of praise. I can honestly say I’ve never seen him have a good game. Not sure whether that’s because I don’t support England and I’ve only ever seen him play against City.

Why didn’t VAR overturn it? If VAR doesn’t change the decision then the FA shouldn’t be able to. VAR purpose is to look at these decisions and correct them.

VAR are morons?
See Wolves' non penalty award v the rags. Every person who has ever watched a game of football saw it was a penalty. Except the match officials on and off the pitch.
