"Arsenal centre-back William Saliba was perhaps a bit lucky not to have conceded a penalty against Everton in tonight's Premier League game. The France international is normally a solid and reliable performer for the Gunners, but he arguably got a bit lucky with this incident below. Take a look for yourselves and see, with Saliba kicking out at his opponent in the penalty area, but with nothing given"
"Overall, it perhaps looks a bit like it would've been harsh to award Everton a penalty for this, but at the same time it's certainly one of those debatable decisions we sometimes see. William Saliba in action for Arsenal (Photo by Justin Setterfield/Getty Images) Arsenal clinging on for another close win? Arsenal only narrowly got past relegation strugglers Wolves in their last game, scoring thanks to two own goals, including one right at the death to give them three points."
William Saliba appeared to kick out at an Everton player inside the penalty area, but the referee did not award a penalty. The incident drew attention as Saliba is usually a solid and reliable performer for Arsenal. The game remained 1-0 to Arsenal, with Viktor Gyokeres having scored from the penalty spot. Arsenal had barely beaten Wolves in their previous match, relying on two own goals including a last-minute effort. Arsenal looked unconvincing in the Everton game and faced continued pressure to secure points while performances remain below their usual standard. Manchester City have shown more convincing form recently.
