This photo is so incredibly telling. Jack Harrison is still on his feet. Myles Lewis-Skelly is on the ground, not in contact with the Everton man at all.

Harrison went to ground AFTER this instant and was awarded a penalty.

From the IFAB advice to referees:

That Harry Maguire touch on the ball through to Gabriel Martinelli is about as grey as grey can get for whether Maguire "deliberately played" the ball.

Don't think you can be too upset with that call going either way.

Super Kevin Campbell, forever in our hearts.

Posting a lineup graphic with the players in number order instead of organized by position should be a crime.

Also, what the heck is up with all these random numbers on Newcastle's squad? Horrid.

@poorlydrawnarsenal.com don’t think I’d taken a picture to share with you and the Discord yet (because I’m still figuring out where I’m going to hand them), but these look so great!

Got them box-mounted at a local frame store for a reasonable price.

Hm. Seems like there may be something here. Not super groundbreaking that getting the ball to Bukayo Saka does good things for the #Arsenal attack.

But yeah, get the ball to Bukayo Saka.
