But it wasn't was it?
It was an attacker and a forward both sprinting towards a ball that the defender got to first before the attacker ran into him, knocking him over.
Next time a player appeals for a FK after he's been fouled during one of your matches mate, try saying "No mate, you just weren't strong enough to hold off the challenge". You can compete for space/possession physically (contact sport ) but you can't just barge somebody out of the way and off the ball.
At no stage during the build-up to the goal did Jones have possession of the ball so how did he get there first? It was a straight 50/50 fight for the ball in which the attacker came out on top. PLAY ON!!
