There was no sense of shock among the visiting Arsenal supporters when referee Darren England pointed to the penalty spot on 46 minutes.
Jack Harrison’s tangle with Myles Lewis-Skelly was far too soft to give a penalty. In the end, it earned Everton a point to move them closer to safety, while torpedoing Arsenal’s slim title hopes.
It’s a recurring theme this season, the Gunners being on the end of a questionable call. So to their fans, it’s not something new. Maybe expected, even.
Other occasions include Lewis-Skelly’s red card in their 1-0 win against Wolves in January, which was later rescinded by the FA upon an appeal.
