The BBC didn't show the replay but with Arsenals equaliser, it looks like Arsenal took the free kick, Garnacho closed them down and the ref let them take it again.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
ref signalled to the LB to take the kick, he toe ended it a few yards forward (therefore taken), in the hope of stealing a few more yards. Garnacho immediately closed him down and tackled him.
Ref had his back turned when the Arsenal player took the kick.

Bro?
I thought it was deemed onside if a player from the opposition made an attempt to and connected with the ball before it reached said player
I may have this wrong and if so...........sorry bro!

It has to be deliberately played, not a deflection, trying to block a pass is classed as a deflection not a deliberate pass

I disagree he was not the best, but not terrible.
Fans nowadays always slag the referee off.
,
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If he wasn't terrible I think we're getting too used to really poor refereeing.
Imo refs have always been bad. Really tough job but that's why they brought VAR in.
And they can't even do that.
In the championship we just live with the bad decisions, no need to double up with VAR.
The ref was actually on Uniteds side
There were 2 poor decisions in the game for me - The Bruno booking. It was a booking for dissent, no issue with that, and for once I had sympathy for Bruno showing his petulance, but it was such an obvious foul - there was no reason for Bruno to go down as he was trying to take a shot.
The penalty I have a little more sympathy with, because at full speed and from behind, it may well have looked a pen. Dare I say, it would have been an ideal situation for VAR to intervene and say have another look.
Of course Havertz made a meal of it - most forwards would have, he was probably just as surprised that the ref bought it.

What about the continuous feigning injury from arsenal and the ref LITERALLY buying it every time, handing free kicks out like the world was ending tomorrow?
We seemed to get yellow cards for absolutely nothing where as arsenal were free to take us out, stop us from countering etc, without getting punished.

The Arsenal antics were annoying and there was another occasion when I think Saliba went down after a tussle with Hojlund claiming an elbow when he barely grazed him. I guess karma won in the end as went through.
I thought Dalot deserved to be sent off because when you dive in like that you are asking for trouble.
But i don't think the ref should have missed the foul on Bruno, and ultimately whilst I understand him giving him the pen, I assume from his angle it must have looked like that.
But I would add that players feign injury all the time, yes Arsenal seemed particularly bad yesterday, but until proper punishments are given out for it, it will just continue
Wouldn't be surprised if Arsenal feign injuries to get free kicks because they're only good at scoring from set pieces. It's a deliberate if not desperate strategy.
