Sokratis put two hands on him and shoved him. How much clearer can it be? If Sokaratis shaped up with a shoulder to shoulder there, it is nothing. Instead he is clumsy. And gets away with it.
Not enough to force Kane to the ground like that. He’s a big strong guy and the way he went to ground was completely unnatural. Why not just stay on your feet and try and feed the pass to Lo Celso? He’s not the only forward who does it but to me that’s not a foul. Sanchez often puts his hands on forwards and shoves them but not every shove/contact is a foul.
I ask the question again, if Aubameyang goes to ground like that after “contact” and they win a penalty do you honestly think people on here would say it was a penalty?
I forget who it was but someone from their side essentially dived in the box during a corner after Vertonghen had his hands on him. Again, no penalty for me.
