I was thinking today, as Michael Antonio went down in the box under Dunk's challenge, what would happen if we had immediately bombed down the other end and scored? I'm guessing our goal would be chalked off if it was deemed a pen and play would have restarted with a West Ham penalty!
This seems like a fairly likely situation to unfold in the Premier League in some form sooner rather than later. For example, there could be a bit of tussling in the box during a corner followed by a quick break down the other end by the defending team and a goal - only for VAR to callback play for an infringement during the corner by the defending team and award a penalty. Is there a time limit to how far back in play we can go? Would additional time be added for the "play" that occurred prior to VAR making the call?
I had some other hypothetical questions but they have escaped me so will leave this thread here for now!
Today was gutting watching on the TV and I can only imagine how it felt for those there - VAR certainly much more painful for those in attendance.
