The Villa will be in trouble as their heads will be "unnaturally bigger".

Funny you should say that. Changes for next season.

Hmmm. Last night's penalty might not have been awarded then.

My big problem with penalties is that a team can get awarded a shot from 12 yards out when the incident that led to it would almost certainly not have led to a goalscoring chance, let alone a goal. When Mane played that ball in last night, it was heading towards the edge of the penalty area where Spurs players outnumbered Liverpool players. It was a nonsense that this gave Liverpool an advantage and probably ruined the game as a spectacle. Dare I say VAR would not have awarded it?

I've felt this way about penalties ever since I saw Hughesy win and then score one when his heel got clipped as he chased a ball that was going out for a throw. We won the game but it was the most hollow of victories.

VAR was consulted and confirmed it was a pen.
