Why Arsenal were denied a penalty for Saka's clash with Manuel Neuer - explained
Arsenal drew a thrilling 2-2 with Bayern Munich in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, with drama in the final moments.
In the final minutes of the game, Bukayo Saka was singled out by a through ball and into a promising area in the box.
However, before the shot, the winger fell to the ground in pain in a leg clash with Manuel Neuer.
The Englishman was furious that he was not awarded a penalty, with neither the referee nor VAR seeing enough evidence to award a penalty.
The reason why Arsenal were not awarded a penalty was that the German goalkeeper did not make a single clear and clear mistake.
When Neuer left the goal, his leg was in a fixed position. Saka touched it before the leg clash took place, and it wasn't Manuel who forcibly hindered him.
As a result, the penalty was not awarded, but Arsenal still have plenty to fight for in the second leg at the Allianz Arena next week.
