So, no card for Wilson, then (lol)?

That didn’t look like a foul to me, but, who knows?
Not clear, but my comments were for two separate plays… I still think Wilson earned a yellow for cuffing Lloris out of frustration when he didn’t get the foul in the box.

I don’t want to draw this out, but if Lloris wants to do something with that he can use a better part of his body than his dick to start the move.

And he’s at fault twice more for the second- an awful outlet and then creates a massive hole to slot the ball through. What happened to this guy?

He‘s been like this for years. Elite shotstopper, but poor in the buildup and occasionally erratic in his sweeping. I am ready to move on and get someone better with his feet if the right guy can be found.

That really should have been a Newcastle PK. I don't think it's a card because it wasn't intentional, but clearly the handball prevented the ball that was going back across the net for a scoring opportunity.

Can't believe they didn't even look at VAR.

And now the counter is a corner that results in a goal for Spurs.

Miggy Almiron turning into Angel di Maria is just a delight.

FWIW I think the first Newcastle goal was correctly allowed to stand. Wilson doesn't move at all and he's entitled to the space he's occupying. Hugo tried to do a smart and slick play, but he didn't move the ball far enough against the grain to allow for Wilson's momentum to carry him out of the play. And I agree with @Jimy Hendrix that the second one is on Hugo too. Just terrible distribution. And that's one of the few type of balls Hugo's capable of playing. At this point, when Hugo gets the ball to feet and the short passes are cut off, they forwards and mids need to go long and wide and try to go that route (at least against good opposition) because the alternatives suck.

how is that not a handball?
It is but on a VAR review of a goal you can only waive off the goal and call it if it directly lead to the goal, assume since 3+ players headed the ball including a partial clear after the touch they determined it didn't.... which is probably right by the way the rule is written now. So just a regular missed call, then a goal later in play.

I think that rule only applies to a handball that is not deliberate (aka falling into the part of the body exclusion). This handball was a volleyball set.

His arms are awful tight to his body in the standard hands crossed over junk position, that would be a pretty tough deliberate call.
