Since the start of last season several situations with fouls in the build up to goals have been reviewed: Here’s a handy guide for how to abide by the rules:

DON’T win the ball cleanly as evident by Martin Ødegaard’s wrongfully disallowed goal against Man United.

DO hold the keeper with both arms so he can’t attempt a save - which Aston Villa did the following week - as a corner sailed straight into Ramsdale’s goal.

DON’T hold hands with the keeper. Ben White should have taken notes from the Villa-game, because he only held the hand of Danny Ward who did nothing to yank it out of the grip. Instead he punched it away with his other hand, but as Trossard beat his man on the edge of the box and blasted it top corner, it was called back for a foul.

DO foul a player not playing the ball. A Brighton-player studded Kiwior in the achilles and suddenly found himself in acres as space from his defender foolishly writhing in pain on the floor. But as it was just a random coming together of studs and leg, no foul.

DO foul a player playing the ball. As the independent panel found, “Gabriel had made an action to play the ball” therefore it was not a foul.

BONUS DON’T get hit on the arm in a natural jumping position from a scuffed header from half a yard away going miles off target, like idiotic Saliba against Chelsea. DO assist a goal with your arm, as long as the ball comes in from 20 yards and your arm is in a natural shoving position like the genius Joelinton against Arsenal.

In other words. You are allowed to foul a player off the ball, on the ball and hold the keeper with both arms. You are not allowed to not foul a player or hold hands with the keeper. You can’t use your arms to play the ball, unless you make sure the ball is fired in from far enough away, they are in an unnatual position, and the incident has material impact on the play - then it’s fine.

If you don’t see the consistency in the above, maybe you see the consistency in which team all 7 calls went against.
