No contact there.

Rooney has always been a master of simulation.

Smashing penalty

I thought the ref was giving a yellow for a dive to be honest

How have the commentators not mentioned the zero contact?

He moved out of the way of the ball though. He was in the way of the ball.

No he wasnt he was standing outside the post. you cant be serious if u are than good day sir

niallo27

Keeper didn't complain though.

Quazzie

I wonder will Roy stay around after the match and condemn the dive from his captain?

Disgusting to see such cheating being rewarded

Commentators watching the slow motion replay still saying it was a foul

2nd time in a week I've seen Phil Dowd have an absolute shocker.

If it was a dive, I can't say I have too much sympathy after they dodged the red card.

There doesnt have to be contact for it to be a foul, likewise there being contact doesnt make something a foul either.

Peno all day long.

1 down will spur them on to play more forward and attacking. Be grand.

Was a tactical move

Off topic but I just watched that match last night o_O

Dodgy pen to wrap it up and felliani foul for his goal (push in the back).... I said earlier I expected Phil Dowd to help United out, and up he steps.

Rayne Wooney

Keeper dived

Adamocovic

When you go lunging in without getting any of the ball you run the risk of giving away a penalty. Rooney was clever by knocking it ahead and making the most of it but still 9/10 footballers would have done the same.

keano_afc

Similar to his dive that ended the 49 undefeated all those years ago. He's getting ready for Arsenal.

I know what you are saying but he decided to fall after he jumped the tackle. There was two movements.

bad2dabone

Keeper was moronic

He let Davies off a red card.

He must have heard. Thanks for that.

Bleating Lamb

Could be a classic v Arsenal,have to say if tonight's Team starts that game I fear for Tony Valencia with thought of Alex Ox Chamberlain etc running at him...he is just not a natural defender,considering the wages he is on Falcao has not shown enough so far to merit the astronomical fee and wages to sign him permanently in summer,even though tbf to him he has got v poor service in some of his starts.

Great dive from Rooney, United have been lacking in that regard this season.

efb

That was a foul for the peno

Commentators afraid to call it for what it is. Shameful.

Keown is hilarious. 2 of his 3 MOTM selections were subbed by the losing team. Not sure he has the expertise to criticise Van Gall as manager. WHat a guy!

Yeah a bit baffling really. I guess he is England captain. Only explanation for it.

Like I said, he's a master simulator. He's been doing it since he was 18,i remember the dive from that game and it was very cleverly done.

gosplan

Nothing made Rooney fall but his decision to stop moving his legs.

If there was a pie in it, he'd have stayed on his feet no problem.

It's clearly offside for the first goal. He impedes the keeper as he can't fully committ to the save because Rooney is within touching distance of the ball to change the flight of the ball. If Rooney isn't there, the keeper saves it every day of the week.
