On the subject of penalties I thought we had a decent shout of a second one when Ollie was completely flattened with no attempt to get to the ball in the second half.
Tyrone Mings, take a bow. He inspires confidence throughout the team - strong leadership and some great clearances. Great to see him back for a full PL 90 minutes.

Especially as, I believe, it was his first Premier League match, I thought the ref did ok, now where did I put my tin helmet.

I thought that at the time, but to be fair, on the replay it showed the defender coming in from the side and getting in just ahead of Bailey, so although they both got knocked the ground, technically it was Bailey running into the defender rather than the other way round. In real-time it just looked like he wiped Bailey out as he came from the side.

That barge into the back of Watkins was as clear a penalty as you're likely to see, but with some incidents it seems there is some kind of unwritten rule being applied by the referee and VAR officials - a kind of 'can't be arsed with that one.'
There was a foul on Cash for their goal
