Photo 0444 looks more like a picture from a rugby match than a football match.
If that is what they were doing at corners then it is little wonder they conceded a penalty for it having previously been warned.

The argument is surely who infringes first.
Charlie clearly uses his head to make contact and seek an advantage. Once he has used his strength (and guile?) to get around the defender using the space "he has created" the defender makes further contact pulling at Charlie's arm/shoulder, which fouls him resulting in the penalty.
With my amber tinted glasses on I am very happy with the result (and the experience/skill/nous of our player in getting that outcome). With the personnel switched such that it was a penalty awarded against I imagine those same spectacles would see the incident as illegal use of the head.
It may have been the first goal, and those obviously have huge bearing in most matches, but the reality was we were far superior and "up for it" that I doubt this incident had a real outcome on the share of the points in this particular game.

Bearing in mind the photographic and video evidence of the 'keeper's challenge on Jonah later, I for one, won't be losing any sleep over the one that was awarded.
