I don't even really seeing it hitting his arm at all, it was just off his hip. No debate about it standing, for me.

The City offside disallowed goal though, I cannot believe we got away with that. Not a single spurs player called for it. Ridiculously harsh.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Images show he was clearly offside and not fractionally his whole body.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Didn’t even occur to me that there was an offside. I thought Eriksens pass back had gone directly to Aguero. It all happened so fast. I was slumped on the sofa with my head in my hands, having to listen to that mug commentator cheerleading for City. Even when he said VAR review in progress I didn’t get my head out of my hands because I just don’t expect things like that to work in our favour. The facking euphoria of it not being given - it was more like a stunned shock. I didn’t even celebrate, just got up and paced round the room praying we could see out the last two minutes!

Exactly the same

Didn't even cheer.

100% a legit goal.

Off the biggest donkey on the pitch. Funnily enough my old man said when he came on, he scores the winner

That’s harsh mate Llorente isn’t a donkey at all.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Maybe so but i don't rate him, he looks very awkward and he was out of gas by 80mins after coming on as a sub.

I'd say his time at this level is up, but what a moment to take with him

There is no debate, despite the gutted media trying to make out It was handball, it wasn't.

His arm was in a natural position
He did not move his arm towards the ball
It was completely unintentional

Llorente had his arm tucked into his body and unless where going to tie footballers hands and have them run like T-Rex for 90 mins it will always occur.

Sterling does

sterling runs like he's carrying a purse.

Llorente is a poor footballer tbh but credit where credit's due, he does pop up with goals when we need him to

I actually agree with both points here to the tee. It never hit his hand/elbow, but his thigh, then hit the defender's hand. But did you all notice that most of our defenders (first goal against us) had their hands behind their backs? Probably due to the penalty last week. This VAR is actually changing our game radically, and yes it went in our favor at the end, but I am not sure I like it one iota.

And yup, I agree too that oh well you get unfair decisions for and against, but that wasn't offside when their goal was disallowed. It was an absolute classic of a Spursy moment (the amount of games won in the last 90+ minutes of the game for many teams this season has been numerous).

But oh well, we won, and well that's football, and I won't complain. But we was definitely lucky like never before.
