He basically said, the referee reckoned they were both pulling so VAR didn’t give it but if the referee did give it “I am one hundred percent confident that VAR would’ve cleared it” - direct quote from Sky Sports.

So he’s saying, it’s a penalty and VAR wouldn’t have stopped it being given as a penalty but because Michael Oliver decided he didn’t fancy giving it they didn’t overrule him ON WHAT WAS A PENALTY and left the red card to stand which ultimately lost us the game rather than gave us the chance to be 2-0 up.

VAR can't look at bookings, other than where the ref books the wrong player
Not thinking about VAR surly the defender stopped a goal scoring opportunity by giving the fowl away so surly a yellow but what was the difference with the braithwaite incident as he was sent off for preventing a goal scoring opportunity

The player who made the foul was already booked. VAR can only look at red card offences, so once they decided it wasn't a red, they couldn't go back and give him a second yellow. Crazy!!

The on field referee has the final decision. So if the on field referee sees it and says no, there has to be a threshold reached where the VAR ref says you have missed something in order to send him to the touchline and review the video footage. If the VAR ref just disagrees with the on field referees decision, that does not automatically mean that the on field referee gets to review it again. Maybe it should be like that, but VAR is not used like that at the moment. This is why every time the on field referee goes to the touchline, he overturns the original decision.

Some penalties that have been given this season have been soft and, maybe with another look at VAR, the referee would change his mind but it is only there for the clear and obvious errors, not the ones where it could go either way.
