His hand was not over his head and the ball went to hand his hand didn’t move and he was too close to do anything about it. At least try to be a bit objective man. Just as the Fulham goal should have been allowed. The refs have been inconsistent because Lemina should not have been penalized for that either.
There has been some poor refereeing this season and over the last 5 years.
The point is that there is zero consistency. The Kante one was probably a minor break for us since we're more likely to catch a plummeting Liverpool at this point.
As you say, the Fulham goal should have been allowed.
But there is no argument that the Kante handball is less fragrant than the Fulham one.
And we recently had ESR concede a penalty for a ball drilled at him harder than the Kante one from in close that *also* went off his body first.
There is no standard for handballs. Nobody seems to know what the hell they're doing. On any given play, it's a coin flip for what they call.
