MOTD pundits reflect on 'bizarre' penalty incidents

The decision not to award Arsenal a penalty during their 1-0 defeat to Inter Milan on Wednesday was "bizarre" according to former Liverpool defender Stephen Warnock.

Mikel Arteta's side felt aggrieved not to have been awarded a spot kick for a foul on midfielder Mikel Merino by hosts goalkeeper Yann Sommer.

Speaking on BBC Match of the Day Champions League, Warnock said, "anywhere else on the pitch that is given as a foul".

The match was decided by a spotkick awarded to Inter Milan for handball by Merino at the other end, which was duly converted by Hakan Calhanoglu.
