If a player can be interfering with play by standing in the goalkeeper's eyeline, how can he not be interfering with play running alongside a loose ball giving the defender a decision to make about whether to cover or attack the ball? Utterly ludicrous decision.

On this interpretation of the rule - shouldn't Mac Allister's cracker have stood against Leicester?
Exactly this - have they changed the rule? I'm sure it used to state that the act of merely moving toward the ball was enough to become "active", but that wording no longer seems to be in the rulebook

Toney traps the defender's arm and pulls the defender into him, falling over and gets awarded a penalty. 1-0 Brentford.

Not how I saw it. He left it for Fernandez and the City defenders didn’t challenge.

Apparently this isn’t interfering.
