Original Title: Moyes “I thought Tarkowski’s arm was as close to his body as he could have it. If the arm was in a different position, I could understand the penalty. I spoke to the referee after and he said it wasn’t his decision, I don’t know if he was saying it was the linesman or VAR.”
Tarkowski “My first question to the ref was ‘if my arm is by my side is it a penalty?’ And he said ‘no’. I’ve since read that I leaned into the ball, but there’s nothing unnatural about my arm being by my side. The ball is allowed to hit your arm if it isn’t away from your body unnaturally. If it hits my hand when it’s by my side, then I don’t think that’s a penalty, so even a description saying I leaned into the ball doesn’t make sense to me.”
