I didn’t say it was illegal.

In judging the fouls it is relevant to not the situation at the time of the challenge. One a player is stepping into a harsh challenge. The other the player is jumping out of it. Robertson’s was reckless and became dangerous when Royal stepped into it. Kane’s was reckless and dangerous the moment he went in. Fortunately, Robertson avoided the injury.

As for Jota I have doubts that he tried to draw the penalty. Again, fair play if he did. But this is a guy that’s not afraid to piss off Ronaldo by not passing. Who blasted one passed Pickford from a similar position. I’m not convinced he’s going to give Salah a pen if he’s got the slightest opening for a shot.
