Was it England's Michael Keane?

I think as well, because Connolly attempts to play/reach the ball, you could class it as a trip too

Yes Michael Keane stood on Connolly as the ball was coming down, accidental but definitely a pen

Absolute joke of a decision that brings the game into disrepute, but I'm not complaining.

5 Live are going mental about it, but on my stream it looked pretty clear. Soft perhaps but hardly breaking football like they're going on about.

And are the pundits really saying that it's OK to stand on someone's foot when they're trying to jump for the ball?

But if VAR didn't exist, I wouldn't have complained that much

Is it any different from Propper’s booking? He didn’t mean to trip the Everton player but did and got booked for it. No one seemed to complain about it.

In the US throughout the VAR decision they showed multiple angles. slow motion, and zoomed in. He clearly stepped on his foot, I don't think it was intentional, but it happened so it was the correct call.

Precisely. If it's a foul anywhere else on the pitch, it's a foul in the penalty area. Don't think their lad got booked either?

You'll struggle to find anyone who isn't Brighton supporter who thinks that was a pen. Even Glenn Murray on 5 Live a moment ago could barely conceal his embarrassment talking about it. But that is how the game is now, so I'm happy to take the freak decisions when they go in our favour because we will be on the wrong end of them too. But no doubt VAR and it's bizarre interpretation is absolutely ruining football.

Because everyone is talking about a push.

I think I was watching the same stream. They had the fan park in Texas. There is one particular angle they showed that clearly showed the stamp. Perhaps the 5 live pundits just assume BHA have no right to beat Everton in the last minute and haven’t bothered to watch all the angles.
I don’t like VAR but if it’s going to be used it can’t just be for the benefit of the ‘big’ clubs.
