MNF panel analyse Arsenal’s penalty decision vs Southampton…

Monday Night Football’s pundits this week Jamie Carragher and Phil Neville agreed with referee Robert Madley after he awarded us a penalty in added time vs Southampton on Saturday.

Southampton felt aggrieved with captain Jose Fonte taking to Instagram to air his views, but Carragher and Neville disagree with the Portuguese defender.

Carragher believes that Madley gave it for the shirt grab from Fonte, instead of kicking Giroud after the ball had been cleared.

With the new rules clear to all players and referees under strict orders to clamp down on shirt-pulling, they believe he was right to give the penalty.
