Had Oliver not given the pen VAR would have told him to look at that foul and with a look at the monitor he’d have given it. That’s how fucked up all this is.

He kicks the player’s shin, which is a foul. A foul in the box is a penalty.
Last year in similar circumstances VAR award Spurs a pen at Villa Park. Engels got his foot to the ball but in doing so brought down Moura.

A foul in the box is a penalty.For all the part time refs on here saying that whether he got the ball or not is irrelevant, a professional referee, in full view of the world, clearly said the reason for overturning the penalty award was that the defender got the ball.Sure, refs make the odd mistake, but he's got a better grasp of the rules than any of us, and the fact the defender got the ball was the deciding factor.If that had been one of our defenders there's no way anyone on here would've said it was a penalty.
