IDK if I agree with that. Defender was holding him and then basically mounted Kane till he fell down. I few PK's have been given similar to that.
Usually he is a pretty decent ref from what I've seen but that half got away from him fast. [Reply]
Mbappe needed patience. He had time to let that fall to his feet for a volley. Would have crushed.
Those situations are tough though. You rarely expect a floater to come down to you with that much space in the box. Can't fault him for high-pointing it with the header just over the bar. [Reply]
