However you look at the Wolves game, it is not accurate to say VAR helped us gain two points.
Many say the penalty that was awarded should not have been. Shearer on Match of the Day 2 last night was one of them. Jenas said a few minutes before him, the referee's will go away and analyse MOTD and other highlight programs to see where they made mistakes, so that they can improve their performances in future. With Shearer declaring categorically that our penalty against Wolves was incorrect, this is now the accepted narrative (by everyone not connected with City, plus a few City fans like you).
For the penalty, the Wolves player's arm was raised, thus enlarging his body shape. The ball struck his arm below the shoulder area. This is a penalty. Don't let MOTD, with their expert opinion backed by an inaccurate photo convince you otherwise.
But there was an earlier penalty claim against Wolves, that was not given. Personally, I don't think this was a penalty because the ball hit the player near the shoulder, and this is not deemed handball this year.
So looking at the two penalty incidents, if you go by The Laws of the Game, the second was a penalty but the first wasn't. Ignoring the LOTG, the reverse would be the case. You can't have it both ways. We definitely should have had at least one penalty, which we did.
