I thought the screamer from Dorgu should have been VAR-out.  My understanding is any handball - even accidental - that directly leads to a goal should be chalked off.  Have they changed that directive?

Over the two matches they’ve got three big 50/50 calls in their favour.  Not claiming its a conspiracy but that sort of luck is enough to caterpault you forward.

You're right, but I think the VAR position is that they could not conclusively say it definitely hit his arm.  His arm was definitely next to the ball, but no camera angle showed a change in direction of the ball, or his arm being in definite contact with the ball.

I thought it was handball at the time, but I can also see why they didn't give it.  However, that type of decision BETTER be applied consistently.

Same here, I didn't see enough in it to disallow the goal. The fact that it was against Arsenal may have swayed me a bit.
