I wish I could say that this is the only VAR red card we've had that's so absurdly incorrect, but that would be lying.
Funny thing is they've 'raised the bar' on VAR intervention - the first few weeks have been so disastrous that they decided the VAR shouldn't just intervene on a 'clear and obvious' error, but on a 'really really really clear and obvious error'.
Unless, of course, the referee has put down a penalty which is clearly and obviously wrong, then VAR won't do anything (that's another decision).
Even a foul alone here is questionable. Acceptable, but questionable.
Probably geoblocked, VPN should get past it for those using one.
It's also worth mentioning that this weekend, the VAR decided that a player who eye gouged another player in a mass confrontation should only receive a yellow card.
