That "Pen" (Was it even a foul?)

Sorry but how does that picture show Stevens got the ball.
If it was that easy, I'd have retired on my 'spot the ball' winnings years ago.
Here's a still from the video BEFORE Steven got there!

The video clearly shows Solanke leading with his right foot extended to play the ball just as Stevens leads with his right foot extended to play the ball. If there had been any contact on Solanke's foot at that point then he could not possibly have been in the position as shown in that still frame after the ball was pushed back away from him towards goal. The 1st contact is either Solanke's right leg on Stevens', or Stevens' left boot on his thigh.
The single frame shots can only be analysed objectively in the context of the video.

Best I can do on my phone, this is the point of the pass to the wing. Doesn't look off to me

Think it was earlier in the move than that

This frame shows Stevens got to the ball first. If their lad had got his right foot on the ball when Stevens takes the ball then he could not possibly have been upright at this point (note the position of his right leg). The surface conditions possibly made the tackle look worse than it was. VAR would certainly have ruled out a penalty, and no way would Stevens have got a red card.

Said at the time he took the ball , it’s all this out of control bollocks they are saying now , how on earth you can be in control when sliding in or slide tackling I find a joke . Lundstram would have got a red for his hard tackle on Grealish at the Lane in 4-1 win nowadays .

Which is my point. You can't tell from either still who touched the ball and when.

I've only got the 10min YouTube clip to go on. Don't think it starts early enough to show the pass in question then.

Slav mentioned it was in the first phase of the play I think.

No - you are correct; it's impossible to tell from the 2 still-frames. My point was that viewed in the context of watching the video, those 2 still-frames show that Stevens made contact with Solanke at the point at which Stevens catches his thigh with his boot - after the ball was played back (by Stevens) towards our goal. The contact is still outside the penalty area at that point.
