Don’t know what all the fuss is about. I mean, if that was the Wolves keeper smashing Rashford with a minute to go at Old Trafford I’m sure it wouldn’t be a penalty either.

True. Nkunku might once he’s fit.

Agreed. Unfortunately, either will look a lot better with Caicedo giving them a midfield. Sky raving about Chelsea straight off the final whistle, when you’d have taken us, Newcastle, probably Villa, maybe Brentford to beat them on that display… let alone City and United.
