I'm not giving that penalty, and I'm not sure it's given in England. There's not a lot Souttar can do about it.That penalty concession would have knocked them for six in the circumstances but to go up the pitch and regain thier lead is incredible.On first viewing I thought Sterling was offside, but he times his run to perfection.

John Souttar basically heads the ball off his own hand, which is high, and it's a pen after a VAR review.
