The Ref Stop

Man City v spurs

He throws his arm out and shouts in a fit of frustration. He didn't strike or attempt to strike an opponent. Everybody on that pitch and in the dug out saw it the same way. Maybe YHTBT but that's the way I saw it and everybody there at the time. I've not seen a player try to punch another in the PL for a very long time, it just doesn't happen.
100% agree with this. I don't see it as an attempt to punch, strike or anything like that.

We seem to be missing the fact that Mendy has his back to Lamela and actively spins around to face him before swinging his arm?
