The problem is you have penalties given for things that absolutely aren’t going to result in a goal. Take the Dier “handball” against Newcastle. Or the Doherty “handball” against Southampton. It’s ludicrous to think that the punishment for that should be what amounts to a goal. I get that those fouls took place in the box, but it’s not a scoring chance. So why is the rectification a goal (in the majority of cases)?
To me, that’s a pretty obvious disconnect.
