#3 Was it really a penalty?
The most controversial talking point of the game will obviously be the incident that led to Watford’s equaliser through a Troy Deeney penalty in the second half. While there was no question over Deeney’s finish, whether Richarlison was truly fouled in the penalty area is another thing.
The Brazilian had been Watford’s brightest spark throughout the game, but the way he flung himself to the ground under the challenge of Hector Bellerin looked suspect and probably won’t earn him any new fans from the neutral crowd.
Replays appeared to show minimal contact and so Arsenal fans may have a right to feel aggrieved, especially given the penalty was the turning point in the game and allowed Watford to take over momentum and eventually get the winner.
