OFFICIAL VERDICT: PREMIER LEAGUE EXPLAINS WHY WILLIAM SALIBA'S CONTACT ON BARRY WASN'T A PENALTY
Everton fans are in an uproar after VAR dismissed a clear penalty shout for William Saliba’s challenge on Thierno Barry.
Everton was mad when they didn't get a penalty in the second half against Arsenal while trying to catch up.
Basically, Everton's players were angry because they thought they should've gotten a penalty against Arsenal this past Saturday.
After Viktor Gyokeres scored a penalty in the first half, Everton was behind. Then, around the 60-minute mark, David Moyes' team thought they deserved a penalty when William Saliba seemed to clip Thierno Barry.
Barry got to the ball first, poking it into a risky spot, and Saliba's foot caught Barry's, sending him down. Alan Smith said on Sky Sports, He goes to kick the ball, but he kicks Barry instead. It happens all the time when one player touches the ball first, and the other ends up kicking them.
VAR checked it out but stood by the ref's call. The commentator said, He's a bit lucky. He did kick Barry's foot.
The Premier League Match Centre posted: VAR checked the ref's decision to not give Everton a penalty and agreed, saying Saliba's contact on Barry wasn't enough for a penalty.
One fan on social media complained, Everton was totally robbed of that penalty; it's ridiculous. Someone else said, Everton has every right to feel cheated by those two non-calls!
Another person pointed out that the VAR is a joke in the Everton vs. Arsenal game. Barry touched the ball, and Saliba kicked him. That's a penalty.
Someone else shared, Everton just got robbed of an obvious penalty...
And another added, I don't know why Everton didn't get a penalty after a clear foul on Barry!
Arsenal needed VAR to get their penalty. A post read: After VAR review, the ref changed the original decision of no penalty to Arsenal. Ref announcement: 'After review, Everton No. 15 commits a handball offence. My final decision will be a penalty kick.'
Everton also wanted a penalty a few minutes before when Barry was taken down by Martin Zubimendi, but it was ruled to have happened just outside the box.
THOMAS FRANK APPROVES "RECORD-BREAKING" BID FOR LEICESTER WONDERKID JEREMY MONGA THIS WINTER.
Tottenham Hotspur launches an aggressive bid for Leicester’s Jeremy Monga as Thomas Frank seeks a long-term star.
Graeme Bailey recently reported that Tottenham Hotspur is watching Leicester City's young player, Jeremy Monga. Word is, Spurs will have to compete with Manchester United and Manchester City to get the English kid next year.
Monga's Been Doing Great in English Football
Monga's performances on the left for Leicester have really stood out this season. The 16-year-old has been playing really well in attack. So far, he's scored one goal and made one assist in 13 games for the Foxes in all competitions this season.
The English kid has looked great at times in the opponent's half. He takes about one shot per game in La Liga. Almost half of his shots are on target. Monga passes the ball well from the sides, completing about 76% of his passes in the Spanish league (stats from fbref.com).
Right now, Monga is one of the best young wingers in English football. So, it makes sense that Spurs are one of the teams hoping to sign him next year.
Tottenham Hotspur Is Watching Monga: Could He Be a Star Later On?
Monga is good at finding space to take shots. He can make key passes around the opponent's box and is a good dribbler.
The English talent can also score and set up important goals for his team. Monga mainly plays on the left wing but can also play on the right or as a number ten if needed. He already knows the Premier League well, so he should fit in at Tottenham pretty quickly.
Monga would definitely make Thomas Frank's attack better in the future. He's good enough to compete for a starting spot at the North London club soon.
At 16, Monga could become a big star in English football. He's definitely someone to watch, so Spurs should try to sign him in 2026.
REVEALED: WHY ASTON VILLA’S "PERFECT TEN" HOME RUN MAKES THEM LEGITIMATE TITLE FAVORITES
Unai Emery makes history: Aston Villa moves within 3 points of Arsenal after Morgan Rogers destroys United at Villa Park.
Morgan Rogers was on fire, scoring two sweet goals as Aston Villa cemented their spot in third place, beating Manchester United 2-1.
Rogers curved in a beautiful shot just before halftime, putting Villa ahead. Not long after, Matheus Cunha levelled the score.
But Villa's main guy came through again, regaining the lead with another terrific goal just before the hour mark.
This win keeps them in the running as surprise challengers for the Premier League title. They're only three points behind Arsenal, who are currently leading.
Plus, Villa is seven points ahead of Chelsea and Liverpool, who are in fourth and fifth place, respectively.
It was also Villa's tenth straight home win in all competitions, a historic achievement led by head coach Emery.
Aston Villa's Perfect Ten:
Aston Villa 2-1 Manchester United - Premier League - December 21
Aston Villa 2-1 Arsenal - Premier League - December 6
Aston Villa 3-0 Wolves - Premier League - November 30
Aston Villa 2-1 Young Boys—Europa League—November 27
Aston Villa 4-0 Bournemouth - Premier League - November 9
Aston Villa 2-0 Maccabi Tel Aviv - Europa League - November 6
Aston Villa 1-0 Manchester City - Europa League - October 26
Aston Villa 2-1 Burnley - Premier League - October 5
Aston Villa 3-1 Fulham - Premier League - September 28
Aston Villa 1-0 Bologna - Europa League - September 25
Villa had a great run of ten home wins in a row under the Spaniard from March to September 2023.
Emery is now only the second manager in Villa's history to have two separate streaks of ten home wins.
He joins George Ramsay, who had five different streaks like this between 1888 and 1905.
Rogers was definitely the man of the match, scoring his sixth and seventh goals of the season during this tenth straight victory.
The former Manchester City academy player gave United's defence lots of trouble throughout the game.
If he keeps going like this, Thomas Tuchel will probably pick him for the England squad for the 2026 World Cup.
But winning with Villa is his main focus as they keep fighting Arsenal and City for the title.
Can Villa Actually Win It All?
Villa didn't seem to be doing so well at the beginning of the season, not winning any of their first six matches in all competitions.
They only scored one goal in their first five league matches, but things have really changed since then.
Now in third place, Villa has a good chance to upset everyone and be a serious contender for the Premier League title.
Emery's team has already beaten title rivals Arsenal and City, but they still have to play at Arsenal and City's grounds.
They're going to Arsenal on December 30, three days after playing Chelsea away from home.
Nottingham Forest and Crystal Palace are their first two opponents in 2026, followed by an FA Cup game against Tottenham Hotspur.
Villa will also play their final two Europa League league phase matches in January as they try to do well in every competition this season.
