While I do hate all the grabbing and shirt pulls in football these days, that was the softest pen I've seen all season at any level of the game, especially given the one not given to the Liverpool youngster later on. Lots of nice approach play all round, but every shot from around the box was poor from both sides. Some very good defending on the flanks though.
Even the players weren't asking for it. Ref had a nightmare. Right after a player lunges studs up knee high and he just looks away. I guess if you want to ref the big games, you got to ref like the prem refs.

@@evanducker7814 LOL - yes. The whole game is in a state.
Great game
Just watching this are city paying refs at this level too. Never a penalty
City had the bigger players.
