The game has been extremely fortunate that this sort of thing has not been more commonplaceSomething we thought may occur more frequently when VAR was introduced. Play brought back after a goal.

I wonder, in the Burnley v Brentford game recently, whether Toney would have got a penalty for foul by keeper, if it was a foul that is, on review but didn't look because Ajer scored moments later.The game has been extremely fortunate that this sort of thing has not been more commonplace
In particular, I'm somehow yet to see a scenario where a team should get... say, a PK on review.... but that side goes on to score anyway. I'm amazed that this doesn't happen on a relatively frequent basis
IMO the holding did not impede the opponent's movement, so no foul.Why have they reviewed this when the attacker seems to have held a defender's shirt first?

Agree. As fans, we are conditioned that any holding of shirt is an offence, but as you quite rightly say any holding (player or players equipment) has to impede the opposing players movement to become an offence.IMO the holding did not impede the opponent's movement, so no foul.
huh? Every possible PK gets checked. We don’t see it very often because the VAR is going to ask the R to stop play if a PK is likely to be awarded via an OFR to avoid exactly this problem. A goal taken back for a PK at the other end should only happen if there is a fast counter attack that doesn’t give the VAR time to make that recommendation.I think it is probably just not something that the officials think to check which is why it is so rare.
I appreciate that but sometimes things do get missed.huh? Every possible PK gets checked.

More likely to cause problems is a DFK just outside the box, which isn’t reviewable, but becomes reviewable if it was the start of the APP and the other team scores or gets a PK. So the non-reviewable foul gets reviewed as part of the APP and the goal scoring opportunity is given and the goal wiped.
