Illegal streamers around the country are not happy.
If the powers that be were going stop fans watching El Classico on TV because it kicked off at 3.15, there’s no chance they were going to allow them to view Tottenham Hotspurs vs Swansea in glorious HD quality. Thus the Welsh and North London masses were left to find more dubious ways of catching the action.
Those who managed to locate a black market streaming service of the game witnessed Delle Ali going down in the area in the 38th minute, and referee Jon Moss immediately pointing to the spot. Harry Kane confidently dispatched the resulting penalty to open the scoring for the home side.
Except it’s not as simple as that, as many feel that the ‘challenge’ by the Swans’ Jordi Amat was very much of the phantom variety. In polite terms, they feel that Ali may have lost balance of his own accord, rather than receiving any encouragement from the Spanish defender.
We must stress that anyone and everyone pointing fingers is doing so with the help of blurred and buffering footage, but at first glance they aren’t happy at what they see as very generous officiating…
Imagine being a team supposedly going for the title and having to cheat and dive to get a goal. Embarrassing from Ali. #TOTSWA

Spurs gifted yet another penalty this season. 10 in 11 games now. Majority of them were given for absolutely nothing either.
