Doesnt matter, arm in an unnatural positiom, had to be a pen
Agreed the arm shouldnt have been there and the player was stupid to have it out there but its a deflection for me so ball to hand rather than hand to ball
Stupid of Sissoko to mimick a whacky inflatable arm flailing tube man, at the same time really sneaky of Mane to kick it straight at his arm. Everything wrong with the rules, intent like that should be waved away
Let's be honest if a Sunderland player had done what Sissoko did we'd have been screaming for a penalty and saying it's a definite handball.
I thought it was a clear handball. No need for him to be hailing a taxi in the penalty area.
Honestly i dont think i would. Maybe scream for a pen initially but after seeing the replay i think VAR should be able to see that was not hand to ball.
