Foyth lucky to get away with penalty call

- Chris Foy FORMER PREMIER LEAGUE REFEREE

SPURS were very fortunate to escape a penalty claim when Juan Foyth and Eden Hazard clashed.

It was a careless challenge from Foyth and he clearly made contact. Referee Martin Atkinson appeared to be in a good position to see it, though it was impossible to tell if his vision was obscured.

But it was a penalty, absolutely no doubt for me.

Hazard went down a second time later in the first half under a challenge from Moussa Sissoko but the contact was minimal and Martin got that spot on.
