What are your thoughts on two of the United goals ? (1) the offside player, directly in front of the Villa keeper (2) The Villa keeper being fouled by the Utd keeper at the corner for the last goal ?

With regards to the 'foul' on the keeper... with all current interpretation / guidance, it's just not a foul... but it feels like it should be.

To clarify, the action by Lamens had no material impact on Suzuki's ability to complete the action he attempted (punching the ball). Not a foul for me on field, and certainly not one for VAR involvement. But it does sit slightly uncomfortably with me that Lamens has realised the ball isn't going near him, ran 3-4 yards with eyes only for Suzuki and then given him a bit of a nudge. You can see why people think it's a foul (even though they're wrong)
