Cracking game and a fair result

Dyer's hand took the ball away from Danny Rose's chest in the penalty area and stopped him continuing towards goal

IMO that's a penalty

According to the rules there has to be intent. IMO there was no intent as he was not looking at the ball. We got away with one for once...we are overdue a few dodgy calls.

there's a vine and his hand flicks tw ball away, he was aware of the ball and took a chance.

in my opinion it was not a penalty
however I do believe that the tackle on onomah was a penalty
a case of two wrongs making a right

In my opinion it was a clear penalty. There is definitely an extra wrist movement that flicks the ball a bit further away from Rose. Dyer knew exactly what he was doing.
If that had been given against us I would have had no complaints.

From a neutral's perspective it was a cracking game and almost funny to see Spurs almost lose! For me however it was a very frustrating game to watch after they equalised. We should have won that two or three nil in all fairness. Eriksen's set pieces in the second half were criminally bad, which didn't help!

Just about a penalty but I've seen those not get given. We were the better team but I really thought we were going out as we didn't create enough in the second half.

I thought it was a pen I'm just amazed that the red saw it from that angle! Nice to see us getting the treatment of a big club, we wouldn't have got that decision 2/3 years ago
