I'm sure any goal scoring opportunity or penalty shout can be reviewed if either the ref or the VAR officials feel that it should be. Their penalty was obvious, so unless the VAR team had spotted something in the build up that required a second look, then there was no need to review it. With offsides, it wouldn't be practical to just let play go on regardless of how obvious an offside was, there will have to be an element of discretion on that.
Ah, apologies. Yeah that looked like one to me too, so no idea on that score i'm afraid.
I think VAR was used for their penalty. Referee had his finger to his ear, and took a few seconds to give the penalty. I think it was just reviewed very quickly because it was an obvious call. I've been relatively impressed with how unobtrusive VAR has been in Villa's games so far.

He seemed to give it straight away for me.
I hate the handball law changes.
If any reviews need to be made, they need to be made on the referees say so. Both the decisions in yesterday's man city/spurs game would've been different if it was down to the ref without VAR influence

Rather than relying on their discretion?

Also he didn’t spot the accidental hand ball in the man City game. VAR is inconsistent which is not what it should be. It can’t be used at the behest of the ref it must be independent IMO.
