Ya, that wasn’t a penalty. Player isnt at all hampered by whatever contact was there.
This whole thing about VAR not stepping in unless there’s some grand mistake, rather than it just being the wrong result is awful.
If something is or isn’t a red or a penalty, or a goal, should be the sole purpose of VAR. The system probably should have been designed by referees, who really do seem to think that the game is all about them. They are so bloody precious that they are hampering the whole system in order to not hurt their feelings.
It’s a bit like what happens when you allow the police to investigate themselves.
