You either want goal decisions reviewed externally or you don't. It doesnt really matter whether people appeal or not. If that becomes a factor should defenders make random appeals in order to get VAR to review?
VAR was not misused. A goal was scored - it was checked and Mwepu was judged to...
Take away the emotion and the quality of the goal - Mwepu was interfering with play with his attempted overhead kick.
It was offside imho. A shame though
