Penalty incident; seemed at first that Sterling kicked the ground and tripped himself. Undoubtedly touched immediately afterward but couldn’t have argued had it not been given.
Also first caution of the game came in 47 minutes and went to a Poland player who’d just come on as a sub. Nothing much in the challenge itself, and a little unfortunate given his personal circumstances, but a good example of punishing persistent infringement by a team. 4th or 5th similar foul in the same area of the field.
And penalty against Maguire for handball? Not buying Lee Dixon’s argument that “It’s a natural position because it’s on the back of a defender” (Exact words)
