Southampton Penalty.

[sapelesam]

Hate to ask for clarification on the rules of football. Just watched MOD, the Southampton player has kicked the ball out of play before he is fouled by the Newcastle player, I didn't think that could be a penalty. I expected the BBC pundits to explain it but they didn't. Can anybody help?

The ball appears to me to still be in play...
