Atletico Madrid score a penalty taken by Julián Alvarez after Arsenal’s Ben White is punished for handball during the match. The incident follows a scuffed volley from Marcos Llorente, which leads to controversy over whether White’s hand position constitutes a handball offence. All three reports describe the referee’s decision as “harshly” given the nature of the contact and the deflection off the initial strike. Alvarez then converts the penalty, giving Atletico the lead in the game. The accounts agree on the sequence of events: a Llorente shot/vollies that appears to deflect, White being judged to have handled the ball, and Alvarez scoring from the spot. While the coverage emphasizes the disputed aspect of the decision, the reports do not dispute that a penalty is awarded and scored. The match outcome context beyond the incident is not provided in the supplied summaries.
