Take a look at Man City's 5th against Burnley it was a penalty awarded when the defender played the ball back to his keeper & stood in the path of the attacker.
Michael Appleton on the BBC said it was a clear penalty as the player had been OBSTRUCTED...!
Will we ever get to see an indirect free kick in the area again...?

And why is it a clear foul when he does it as the ball is rolling back to the keeper, but it's "good defending" if he does it when the ball is rolling out for a goal kick?
The two things that annoy me most, is all pushing and holding going on in the penalty area, 9/10 the defending team gets away with it, but the at a king team are penalised. Second is the over the top protection keepers get with crosses into the box, keepers can virtually take out the opposing teams players and get away with, but the attacking team cannot just for the ball with the keeper.

I rest my case...footballers, managers, pundits etc do not know the laws...
Funniest thing is that VAR is only used at Premier League grounds. So the second Millwall goal (that was obvious handball) would have been chalked off if the game was reversed.
