Arsenal fans have taken to Twitter to react after Sky Sports posted a video of Davinson Sanchez fouling Alexandre Lacazette in the 2-1 win over Tottenham.
The panel, consisting of Steven Warnock, Sue Smith and ex-referee Dermot Gallagher, were busy discussing the penalty incident from Sunday’s clash.
Gallagher said he felt Lacazette was fortunate to win the spot-kick, before going on to say that it was a ‘glitch in the system’ as VAR failed to intervene.

If a player makes a pass in the middle of the pitch, and is then caught by a late challenge, it’s still a freekick – regardless of whether the pass found a man or not.
