The moment Lacazette fell to the ground, referee Jon Moss pointed straight to the spot mid-way through the second half.

Meanwhile, former England striker Gary Lineker believed the referee was wrong to give the penalty, saying: "Not a pen for me."

Referencing the episode, Spurs fan Haaris said: "These man complain about Kane diving yet Aubameyang and Lacazette dive in consecutive games to win a penalty."

User The Man Utd Way summed up the frustrations of the visiting fans by stating: "A clear dive from Lacazette. Have to say, on second look, that is straight up embarrassing."

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase. The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism.

The poetry of this phase is that of writers in “exile” keenly aware of being colonials, whose identity was under siege. It is a poetry of protest against exploitation and racial discrimination, of agitation for political independence, of nostalgic evocation of Africa’s past and visions of her future. However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
