This might well be a new low for VAR.
They had just taken about twenty minutes to rule out an obvious offside for West Ham, but when it came to a handball in the box from West Ham, they simply waved it away.
The ball didn’t just strike Tomas Soucek’s arm – he literally deflected the ball wide of the post. We are the harshest critics of VAR you’ll find, but even we were sure they couldn’t possibly miss this one. This one is going to have to be addressed.
