“Mike Dean should not have allowed either of Tottenham’s goals...Eric Dier was just offside when Christian Eriksen whipped over the free-kick for 1-1. And Son Heung-min dived for Spurs’ penalty. Rob Holding lunged into a tackle but made no contact with Son."

A different ref, a different opinion... I don't understand really.

Keith Hackett: Tottenham’s penalty call was correct even though no contact
In the Telegraph on Monday morning, former Premier League referee Keith Hackett has argued that Tottenham’s penalty was the correct call.

Hackett also accepts that Arsenal’s Holding didn’t make contact with Son.

So how the hell does that line up? Hackett explained the following:

What makes this decision so difficult is that you could argue it is still a penalty even though no contact has been made.

Law 12 states that a direct free-kick (which is a penalty if committed inside the area) is awarded if a player makes a challenge “considered by the referee to be careless, reckless or using excessive force.”

Nowhere does it mention contact must be made to commit an offence.

Holding’s challenge was desperate and, as a result, careless, which officials judge to be when you show “a lack of attention or consideration when making a challenge, or acting without precaution”. He made no contact because Son took evasive action rather than because he took any care to avoid his opponent.

Hackett is an idiot. Was when he reffed and still is now I see.

He might be an idiot, but that rule certainly won't make him any brighter. I mean the rule is just confusing and refs can make their own interpretation about it. Rules should be made to make things clearer and less controversial.

starting to get worried about this erection now...

Yes Ramseys performance can do that
