Sunderland given a penalty when Ballard pulled Konsa (SUN 0–2 ARS, 54')
At 0-0 after a Sunderland corner, John Brooks gave a penalty for Ezri Konsa's challenge on Dan Ballard. Replays showed Ballard pulling Konsa's shirt with his left arm, which spun the Arsenal defender into him. Stuart Attwell confirmed the penalty on VAR. If anything, it should have been a free-kick to Arsenal. Arsenal won 2-0 anyway.
