Gamesmanship? Cheating? Poor goalkeeping? Anything other than taking accountability?
Those are the questions posed when pondering Ivan Toney's much-talked about opener in Brentford's win over Nottingham Forest at the weekend. From a goalkeeping perspective, we look at whether his ball-tampering tactics should have been flagged earlier by Forest - and whether Matt Turner's wall wasn't positioned properly.
"Foul or no foul?" rears its head for a second week running following incidents involving Dean Henderson and Alphonse Areola in a defeat and draw for Crystal Palace and West Ham respectively - and Jason Steele exhibited another distribution masterclass as Brighton were held at home to Wolves.
In the EFL, Carl Rushworth continues to impress on loan at Swansea from Brighton, Vaclav Hladky was named Sky's MOM in the top of the table clash between Leicester and Ipswich, Jack Stevens of Cambridge threw his name in the ring for Save of the Weekend, and Dan Connor - Goalkeeper Coach at Forest Green Rovers - stepped up to a caretaker role following the dismissal of Troy Deeney.
