Men In Black - Did Pope get away with a miracle?

Sam Matterface and former Premier League referee Chris Foy dissect the weekend's biggest refereeing talking points from the top flight.


On today's episode:

  • Did Nick Pope win the ball in his challenge on Viktor Gyokeres and was that enough to overturn the penalty?
  • Was Gabriel lucky not to concede a penalty for handball following Anthony Elanga's cross? How about a red card for striking Nick Woltemade?
  • Why was Nathan Collins not sent off for his challenge on Bryan Mbuemo?
  • Did Mo Salah handle the ball in the build-up to Federico Chiesa's goal vs Crystal Palace?
  • Should Brighton have had a penalty after Malo Gusto's challenge on Yankuba Minteh?
  • Did reputation go before Josh King after being cautioned for simulation for the second week in a row?
  • Was Matty Cash's hand in a natural position to block Josh King's shot and avoid conceding a penalty?
