Utter bollocks. Harris was guaranteed the next touch of the ball which could have been a placement into an empty goal. As happened with the Iheanacho goal for Leicester less then 2 hours later. If the foul had been made by a defender with the goalie still in place then he'd have a point. But the goal was empty and its ridiculous to suggest it was anything other than a clear goal scoring opportunity denied. The problem with VAR is its becoming subjective. Not so much on the incident but on how hard they work to get the decision they want.

What is stupid is if the defender had made that tackle and the goalkeeper was still in his goal, then the defender would have been sent off as the last man.
However because the keeper made the tackle and a defender was still there, they deemed the keeper as not being the last man. That is stupid for a couple of reasons:
1. Whether it was the keeper or defender there would have at best still only been 1 player between Harris and the goal. So the keeper was the last man.
2. The keeper was well out of his area
3. The defender can’t use his hands to stop the ball so if Harris had got around the keeper, Harris would have had to just beat a player who couldn’t use key part of his body.
And all this before the fact that the tackle was out of control and reckless.
Would we have won the game if he had gone - probably not. But I can’t understand how VAR can come to the conclusion they did and didn’t even refer it back to the ref to take another look at. Did anyone notice how few replays and angles they showed of it as well?
I’m not normally one to believe in big boys getting all of the decisions, but that was a travesty and one that you KNOW if Phillips had done that to Jota would have resulted in a red card.
