Player Watch: Moussa Sissoko

[taidgh]

Technically not in the box

Technically it is. Would've been a penalty with VAR.

Didn't realise he was back captaining Watford. Hope he has a good season!

The foul is really interesting. I can understand, say, a yellow, for unsporting conduct or whatnot, but I can't see how it's ever a pen. I don't believe one was given here, but Sissoko definitely stops the guy having a possible goal scoring opportunity. No idea what the law should say. Can't say I've ever seen it before that comes to mind.

There's something so good-natured about Moussa that you can understand a ref giving him a pass...except of course when it really mattered.
