How often in the PL does a team score 5 goals and not win? ?

Least arsenal managed to score one goal by themsleves we thought we had to do all the work!

Not good for Dawson.. 2 own goals in 2 weeks lol

That is soooooo Fred.

That is soooooo Fred.

He really shouldn’t be giving it him there though.
Keeper should have gone with his hands and spread himself ,bit easy to get around him .

I can't argue with that, but Fred's passing is woeful and there was no excuse for doing what he did.

Chambers was class with his crosses.

He's really good at this.
I wandered into an Arsenal league cup game a couple of years ago on the way home (against Forest) and he was playing right back. Martinelli (I think) scored a great header, but it was all made by the power and 'flatness' of Chambers' cross. I noticed the other day that he was still at it.
I'd rather he hadn't today mind...

Good job Utd brought the big guns on, otherwise Leicester could of had four.

? What a great performance boys!!

That’s a genius by Kane to win that penalty. To have that speed of thought and to gamble like that takes some front ?

"win" the penalty, genius or just cheating?

balls going out of play, defender tries to block a cross and Kane dives in front of him, screams then holds where he wasnt even kicked, not surprisingly up and fine 30 seconds later

 

[USER1999]

Kate is a cheat, a coward, and a despicable individual.

Good striker though. Can't deny that.

Not a dive is it? The full back goes sliding in like a maniac and Kane thinks, ok, well if he's going to do that I might as well take the hit and go down rather than trying to stab an aimless cross into the box. As always if you dive in stupidly there's a good chance you get punished.

Why is he holding his shin ?

Eh? The contact was on the side of his shin and that's where he's holding it? Obviously he's exaggerating how much pain he's in to make sure the referee is aware there was contact - this is Mike Dean we're talking about so you have to make sure. Every player does that, the same as every defender throws his arms up in 'innocence' when he's just booted somebody.

 

[Tashyboy]

So Kane steps over the ball, has no intention of playing the ball which has run out of play. Instigates contact and that’s a clever penalty. Nope, that’s grade one cheating. Ave seen Sterling fall over enough time To know the difference. If Kane had tried to get past with the ball I could understand it being a penalty. But in this instance that’s rammel. Do I blame him, partly, but there’s an official that should of looked at the screen and gave a goal kick. All the ref has done is encourage Kane. He is as much to blame.

Sorry but your just defending conning the ref, admit it kane cheats as bad as the rest

He's a less in your face grealish because he doesn't play up to it but dives just as much

Actually to be fair I gave him a little too much credit in my earlier post - when I saw it again I believe he was trying the little Cruyff chop-back with his left heel but actually misses the ball and is very lucky that Cash came flying in to spare his blushes by catching him. Having messed up the skill then yes he's going to grab that opportunity to take the foul with both hands, all day every day.

Just because the ball would have gone for a goal kick doesn't mean it's not a foul. If Kane had a shot, put it into row Z, and then the goalkeeper clotheslines him, that would still be a penalty wouldn't it?
