The pundits have been actually cut up on the choice – and there was some confusion over the precise wording of the regulation, too.
Ex-Premier League ahead Chris Sutton stated on BBC Radio 5 Stay’s Monday Evening Membership it was a “scandal” and “actually, actually harsh”.
“That is not a penalty,” he stated. “That is completely not a penalty. Who is aware of what the directive is, however his arm is down by his facet.
“We’ll hear David Moyes after – however that is a scandal, I believe. That is by no means a penalty.”
Former Everton defender Conor Coady, now at Wrexham, added: “I do not prefer it. I do not just like the rule – I do not know what’s and is not handball as of late.”
However Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher have been each in settlement on Sky Sports activities that the referee obtained it proper.
“The guilt was written throughout Tarkowski’s face. He is aware of it’s a penalty,” stated Neville.
“Tarkowski moved his arm in direction of the ball. He leans into it and he blocks it. It’s a penalty, and he is aware of what he has performed.
“He is aware of it’s a penalty. He is aware of that he has made a mistake.”
