To be fair, we are just in and even the sky sports team were saying if VAR had gotten involved, the fact he got the ball first may have saved him….Many other similar situations have been found to be not penalties… When does a tackle end would be my question?
Doesn't he (ever so slightly) touch the ball first before the leg? I thought several var calls have suggested that would therefore not be a penalty.... Ref had missed several fouls on us prior to it, so it felt like a passage of play where the ref was playing for them!
