When I saw it in real time, I thought “absolutely no way”. Looked more a penalty on the replay but not stonewall. Can absolutely understand why the ref didn’t give it and why VAR then didn’t overturn.I’ve not seen today’s penalty shout but I really think we’ve been on the end of some poor decisions that VAR has failed to sort out this season. Arguably, two of those decisions (Van Dyke studs down Solankes calf and Van Dykes elbow into Richarlison neck) contributed to todays Spurs game taking place at Craven Cottage rather than Wembley. The failure to award a pen to Danso at Ipswich was bizarre too.
Based on the comments on here it sounds like it’s hard to blame the officials for todays defeat but goals DO change games and pens usually lead to goals…
