The VAR Review: Spurs' penalty claim, Chelsea disallowed goal

After each weekend we take a look at the major incidents, to examine and explain the process both in terms of VAR protocol and the Laws of the Game.moved into the area in the 26th minute but stumbled to the ground. It was unclear if there was any contact on the Spurs player, and referee Michael Oliver allowed play to continue.

Rice is attempting to clear the ball, but isn't fully aware that Davies is coming across. The ball comes off Daves' left thigh, which takes the ball away from Rice who ends up kicking the Tottenham Hotspur player on his right thigh with the attempted clearance. Oliver must have believed there was little to no contact on Davies.

Carlos is waiting for the ball to drop so he can attempt to head it clear, and he was pushed off its path by Disasi making a shoulder barge into his back -- which enables the Chelsea player to cross and create the goal. If Disasi had made the challenge shoulder-to-shoulder that is more likely to be deemed a fair attempt to outmuscle his opponent.

Taylor could also have just awarded the free kick at the point Areola tossed the ball forward, indicating no advantage. Instead, he allowed the medical staff to come on and check Areola and gave a dropped ball -- the correct restart if the referee has deemed play has only been stopped to allow treatment for an injury.

Man United will feel aggrieved considering the handball penalty given against Wan-Bissaka vs. Coventry City in the FA Cup semifinal last week, yet that was given on-field and not through a VAR review. Even so, if Vitinho's had been given by the referee we should expect a review to overturn it.This was a close one for the VAR to make a judgement on; was the contact by Holgate on Gordon on the line or outside the area? It was very close to being overturned to a free kick.
