I was directly opposite the challenge in the Valley End, with a clear unobstructed view. The moment I saw it I though ‘penalty!’. Right decision made, it was inside the box when he was clipped. Ref is a Premier League ref and it showed…he had a good game.

It's funny you say that, as I was level with the box from the side, and thought it was outside.
I've seen a still since and still can't tell for certain.
It was a reckless challenge either way.
Doh I didn’t mean to post that as a stand alone subject - forgive me!!
My initial thought was it was outside
Top marks to Scowen though for putting the penalty taker off
To be fair after viewing highlights the challenge was just inside
That's what I thought at the time and I was standing pretty close to it
I just read this:- "Although the foul initiated outside the box, it continued at least till the line marking the penalty area and a foul on the line is a penalty."
That was in connection with an international match but seems to apply in this case.
