Didn't see the game. Did they send Oliver to the screen?
Yes and he didn't overturn.

Indeed. The technology is there for all to see, it was a clear handball. The issue is that those using the technology are under strict instructions to give certain decisions in favour of certain clubs.
It's a shocking decision, I kind of wonder if all season long the ref's been wanting to tell VAR to shove it when they call him to the monitor and he's chosen the last possible moment to do it. Maybe it's ego, maybe it's trying to make a point, maybe he knows it doesn't really make a difference to either team, but it's still a bad, bad decision.
Whats the score with handballs? Can't VAR just overturn the referees decision? Or will it always go to the screen?
PL corrupt to the end.
I mean, that was a “clear and obvious error”.
The very definition of the VAR mission statement.
The boys in the VAR office did their job.
But the referee decides to stick with his erroneous decision.
He must have been following Masters’s instructions to make sure Arsenal won.

Yes.
They flagged it up and he went to the screen and ignored the evidence of his own eyes.
No fault of VAR on this occasion.
Usually always get overturned as well. How many times has a ref been sent the monitor and stuck with the original decision?
Maybe I'm just living in my own little world but I don't really think that was a handball, think the ref got it right. You can argue consistency across a season of course but in the spirit of the game I don't want to see handball given for situations like that, even if it is against us!
Yet if he scores a goal using the same contact of his arm, the goal would be invalidated...clear handball in the current rules.
The only thing he has done is shown everybody how incompetent he really is...
