VAR

In isolation it's a foul. In context of what this PL season has looked like I'm not really sure it is a foul. In context of how VAR usually operates I'm not sure it should have been overturned to a foul. In the context of what Arsenal specifically have been allowed to get away with on their attacking set pieces over the course of this season it's a travesty that the title is probably being swung in their favor on that decision.

But ultimately.... it's a foul based on how the game is supposed to operate. I just wish the PL was run in a way that allowed the game to operate how it is supposed to more often. I know the referees are heinous and that's a big part of it. The players and the clubs conduct themselves in horribly unsporting fashion so often that I'm also just not sure what referees are even meant to do. The lack of respect for the refs, for opponents and for the game itself is appalling.
VAR works perfectly. Its there to push desired outcomes. Both in result and talking points after game. Thats entertainment!
