So apparently, the referees panel will say the penalty shouldn't have been awarded, but it wasn't a clear and obvious error so VAR were right not to get involved.

Lewis-Skelly had already begun to lose his balance before they were both in the box, so this was momentum. If it hadn’t been given by the referee on field, no one would be talking about this decision today as a potential penalty that wasn’t given therefore the fall back of saying because it’s been given it’s not blatantly stupid enough of a decision (which I think it is) in order to overturn it is moronic
I’m not usually one to whinge about refereeing as I tend to believe over the course of a season everyone gets shit decisions that can go for or against them, however it’s really difficult to ignore just how woeful some of the refereeing has been for us this season.
I'd say more than woeful, it's bordering on the vindictive
I've said it before but if I were the Club i'd invest in a dossierof what decisions have gone against us and what different teams have got away with (players like Van Djik and Guimeraes would be good examples) which would prove we've been extremely hard done by and to call for fairer treatment next season or they will sue the PGMOL for lost revenues
