Well, that's for them to answer.
But first and foremost, Crouchy makes what looks like a foul.
And then there's another scuffle.
I think Arsene Wenger's really upset at this point, because he thinks there should be a foul here.
And this happens quick.
He doesn't perhaps get tight enough.
Cross comes in, and my first thought when he won the goal, there was nothing wrong with it.
So even looking at the monitors in the studio here,
When it slows down, you can see it's an obvious handball.
He's clever, crouchy.
He doesn't show no guilt.
That's just experience.
But not obvious to the assistant.
He's right over the other side.
That was probably the critical point of the game for Arsenal.
Because, you know, they could easily have conceded an equaliser there and then...
they would have been out of this chase.
But they withstood that with real character and strength, which is not something you always put next to their name.
And talking of critical moments, I want to just say how critical that moment was when we saw Alexis Sanchez signalling to the bench.
He wants to come off.
