Link below. Even with my really really really blue tinted glasses on I can't see how any VAR official would give that. As much as it looks like he could have touched it when his arm is in front of the ball, at no point can you actually see his arm and the ball being in contact. Not saying it didn't happen it's just that the camera angles available aren't good enough to see the supposed point of contact
I’m in total agreement, it’s one of those anomalies, you can’t see actual contact but it makes you think how can it not, the only mitigation is there isn’t a shadow on the ball suggesting close contact, but that will never influence a decision one way or the other. The issue is why a full VAR check wasn’t instructed & the commentary team never got involved, which Ratty is an expert on, he’s normally fed replays at speed so he can pass judgment (and no doubt offer his influence to those making decisions) would it be a stretch to say cancelling out a second goal in a game of this magnitude could damage the product?
