Against Sunderland, Adam Armstrong trips over a Southampton penalty.
On Saturday afternoon, Armstrong scored his 19th Championship goal of the year, but a lot of the Sunderland players think the penalty should have been given again.
The 27-year-old looked to have kicked the ball with his standing foot before it touched his shooting foot as he slid while aiming at Anthony Patterson.
Many Black Cats players were incensed when former Newcastle United striker Armstrong celebrated in front of the away fans, prompting protests from Sunderland teammates.
