Manchester City’s second goal was checked by VAR, but the officials refused to punish this altercation in the box as Arsenal were left trailing by two.
I understand that this incident happens off the ball, and doesn’t really affect the goal, but even off-the-ball incidents are punishable, and Aymeric Laporte should have at least picked up a card for this slap on Chambers.

This game is definitely not going to go our way now, with our only real concern now to keep our goal difference low, but I can’t help but believe that is going to be tough.
