Yes - that's how I saw it. VAR looked and didn't change the onfield decision. And I think if Pawson had given a penalty, they wouldn't have over-ruled it.
Personally I didn't really think it was a penalty - but given that Pawson was whistle-happy at the other end, for consistency he should...
Actually, having now watched the highlights, Pawson blew up before the guy got his header in on goal.
Although the highlights didn't show the foul for the free-kick.
On the penalty - given that play continued and they would have scored if it had not been for a superb save from Bart, hadn't they played their 'advantage'?
