Anyone else notice that? First one was from a cleart offside. The second was a dive after the defenders leg brushed his bum nd he went down holding his calf where there was no contact.

The first was not offside. The question is whether there was sufficient contact between Kane and the keeper's hand, which I doubt. The Pool defender DELIBERATELY played the ball in his poor attempt to clear, thereby playing Kane onside. It would have been different if the ball had hit the defender UNINTENTIONALLY and rolled on to Kane, which would have been offside (see Law 11). The second penalty is difficult to dismiss because it appears van Dijk fouled Lamela, though Lamela was very theatrical in his reaction.

The second penalty was definitely decieving the match official and should receive a retrospective ban.

Both were penalties, the first wasn’t offside because Lovren elected to play the ball unopposed and if the keeper doesn’t want to give a penalty don’t clip the striker - simple.
The second was a full bloodied kick to the back of the upper thigh and a stonewall penalty - I’m a Gooner but if you think that wasn’t a penalty you need to cut down on the wacky backy 🙂
