They are cracking down on set piece holding this year. Will probably see a lot of these early doors…

Had nothing to do with holding

Yes I heard later … point still stands

That's been a rule for 6 years now and seemingly no one knew including Palace's set piece team

Not sure I have heard of it before either!

Weirdest thing is it took an actual example of it happening live to come to people’s attention. Bizarre.

Average fan not knowing is one thing, but commentators pundits and coaches should know

Would be interesting to know how many times last season this was called as a foul? Think there is more focus on the free kick dark arts this year which may not benefit Gabriel!

Agreed 👍

I can't remember seeing any but players have tended to just stay away from the wall Remember a decade ago we'd see that sort of barging about all the time

It was disallowed because he was less than a metre away from the Chelsea wall when the free kick was taken

Atrocious call
