Where was the ref's whistle for Gomes to take a freekick? Nowhere. And Gomes' imaginary freekick was nowhere near where the offence occurred either.
Having watched it again on MOTD, it would appear you and Blackthorn are correct in your analysis. In my defence, I was making a cup of tea at the time, and therefore only taking notice of the commentators on ESPN, it seems my judgement was somewhat misguided.
