Keepers have been a protected species in the modern game. Overly so on so many occasions. If that’s changing, great, but maybe let us know there’s been a rule change. Otherwise, that’s a foul, as clear as day. Just as it has been for years and years. I don’t understand this sudden change in mindset where some refs are going to let this sort of thing go. I’d bet without hesitation there will be similar incidents between now and the end of the season where a foul gets given. It’s bollocks. Standing your ground it one thing, backing into a keeper while he’s jumping is a completely different thing.
Harrison wasn't even backing in. He had his back to play and just shoved into Vicario before turning round if I remember right.
