Genuinely baffled that there has been such outcry to the Fernandes handball. If you watch it in normal speed, he is simply trying to grapple the player & his hand hits the ball. When you slow it down to ultra slow mo, it looks more like a punch. Right call.
True, but grappling isn't allowed, either. He wrapped his arms around the opposition player and if the roles were reversed I would call for a penalty there, too.
However, just as with the foul on Taty the goal came quickly afterwards. Had the penalties been given, I don't think these goals would have been scored.
As an aside, am I the only one wondering if the Spurs goal may have been offside, no analysis of it at all, which surprised me. Maybe it was OK, but it was certainly close.

I'm sure it was checked, but yeah, watching the highlights it certainly looked very close.

Take the decision in this case.
