Wolves 2 -2 Man City... 5mins plus to go...

 

What an entertaining game! Maybe with City having lost Ederson to a straight red, the momentum edged in Wolves’ favour. But City certainly did not succumb easily with 10 men, on the contrary it was City who were leading 2-0 until Wolves took advantage of some tired bodies....

 

3-2... Wolves have just scored

[IceCreamMan]

Great game of football. Bravo

 

Thought the red was a lil heavy handed.

 

Retaking the penalty. Yes , rules are rules and maybe I am old school. Not sure VAR should be used for that.

 

VAR is creeping more n more into games. Not sure I like it. Refs now are more inclined to consult than risk making an error. It detracts from the game. Hopefully in time it’s much smoother.

[RoddieJ]

I have to admit that the red card was absolutely spot on and consistent... Ederson should not have come this far out to defend, and he was last man. So red card!

 

VAR is definitely a controversial point in application in EPL. Referees should definitely be using the on-field review to verify their decisions but I’ve yet to see this happen. It’s a pity because the on-field screen is part of VAR decision-making.

 

I have to agree that VAR being used for penalty area encroachments is very harsh and penalizes the defending team too much.

 

Great game nonetheless

IMO the team who are awarded a penalty should always have an advantage so I am glad they are using VAR to enforce the rule..a rule that has always been there... if not for the incident that lead the penalty they had a high probability of scoring..the no encroaching rule gives them back at that advantage.

 

Far too much at stake in the game for ref errors to change the outcome of a game.

Chelsea turned that one around.

[Baldrick]

Chelsea were lucky to have 11 on the pitch

Yeah the way Lacazette's went on at the ref probably saved Jorginho behind there.

 

Speaking of.. how dont you start Jorginho..

[IceCreamMan]

Haha. Lamps was a tad fortunate. Top team in London. Spurs an united fans must of been wishing an arsenal win.

[RoddieJ]

Lol, as much as I can’t stand the thought of wishing for an Arsenal we n, I was quietly hoping they would take points of Cheatski... But alas, they got it of jail... again!

[Gen]

Aaaw that must have been millimeters.

 

Come on Wolves get it back in the second half.

 

Edit

 

Aaah his foot is clearly offside.. hardlines..go get em Wolves.

 

 

Edit.. this is not an anti Liverpool cheer for Wolves..this is a cheer for Wolves..I like them a lot
