At least Man U was a clear no nonsense penalty. Will be interesting next season when, as is expected,
VAR will be in operation in all Premier games.

As bad a dive as Zaha's. Defender got the ball.

Didn’t the Everton player get a ban for something similar against Palace?

If I recall that was with greater contact.

Well f**k me!! I voted dive, obviously, even before I watched the Gif, I then watched it and Jesus wept, how can any ref in any league let alone a professional referee! Not see through that? He has to have springs in his heels to jump that high the f**king prick

Palace have very little tactics or quality to score goals other than getting penalties.

To be fair, whilst that is a dive, Zaha is the best in the business at tricking the ref. He steps his right leg into a very strange position just before the bunny hop into a dive that gives the appearance he has been swiped when he’s not been touched. Every time he is in the area, his game is all about trying to get a touch and diving - pathetic really. Love him or hate him, he is the best at getting penalties in the Premier League.

Which means he must have practiced long and hard to perfect his technique, which makes it even worse.
In fact he probably continues to practice, so that he doesn't lose his art, right in full view of Woy, who denies he ever dives.
Considering they area one man band, to have your only decent player needing to cheat to pick up a draw at home and score their only goals at home this season from the penalty spot, is not a great position to be in .
Having a total **** for a manager does not help their situation either.

He begins his dive long before Xhaka moves. Dirty cheating scumbag. So deserves a ban.

As much as I hate to admit it was a stonewall penalty. Check it out from this angle and see his foot get clipped...

His foot doesn't get clipped as such. Yes, Xhaka may have touched the front of his foot - but then Zaha pulls his foot back, puts his feet together, and then bunny hops.

But that initial tiny bit of contact is why he won't get a ban. It can indeed be both a penalty and a dive.

These ‘the defender cannot be lunging there and ‘look at the replay there is a touch’ comments really annoy me as regardless of the two you can see his intent is to deliberately make a collision and then leap in the air. It is not natural to be launched up in the air on such minimal contact. This is rife in the game because people justify it with minor contacts on replays.

To think he has cheek to moan about protection after that and last week. It’s about time someone launched him in the air with some proper contact
