It was technically a penalty (IMO). However, I am not sure it was a clear and obvious error by the ref in not seeing it (I see all fouls, genuine or otherwise, on Brighton players from up in the WSU and didn't spot this one). Therefore I don't think VAR should have got involved.
What would be...
The relevant law (12) states:
I think it's fair to say he was tripped, I guess the question then is whether or not Keane was careless and showed a lack of attention and/or consideration of Connolly's feet.
I don't get this 'it was accidental therfore it was not a foul' thing.
Do people think you only foul someone when you deliberately tread on someone's foot?
