Didn't you mean to say No at the start of your answer?Yes, if it had been serious foul play, and thus a red card. Given the 'high bar' PGMOL are applying this season (until someone is seriously injured) VAR would have judged it yellow - flailing arms unless "excessive force" wouldn't be a red - like they didn't ask the ref to look at Haaland's boot to the face of an opponent. They don't intervene for missed yellow cards.
But it should have been given as a foul, so free kick to us, rather than a Palace corner, and still 1-0.
It's for the media thread why Haaland's boot and the "disallowed" goal have got all the coverage, and not Ayew's use of the forearm.
VAR can not get involved in a missed foul unless a goal is directly scored or a red card has been missed.
