Watford denied penalty as ball hits Vincent Kompany’s arm

A big call

Manchester City's hopes of completing a domestic treble might have taken a sizeable dent during the first half of the FA Cup final on Saturday. With the score 0-0, Watford posed plenty of threat to the Premier League champions in the early stages at Wembley. Ederson had to be alert to keep the Hornets out with little over ten minutes played, out quickly to deny Roberto Pereyra. https://twitter.com/BBCSport/status/1129782138318905344 Soon after, there were strong appeals for a penalty when Abdoulaye Doucouré's shot appeared to strike the arm of City captain Vincent Kompany. The decision was waved away and no penalty was given, despite VAR being used in the game. https://twitter.com/BBCSport/status/1129785129080053760 Plenty watching seemed to think the officials had made the wrong call... https://twitter.com/markabochi/status/1129784288206106626 https://twitter.com/jakeheasman/status/1129786621484777474 https://twitter.com/bart_71/status/1129784583862595584 https://twitter.com/theodorelasso/status/1129787884918267906 https://twitter.com/sr_collings/status/1129784466593988608 No penalty given, Watford found themselves a goal behind five minutes later as David Silva gave City the lead.
