West Ham v Tottenham

[CaptainsPlease]

Gillett disallowed a goal for a push by Van de Ven on Walker-Peters despite Van de Ven himself being pushed from behind by Fernandes. VAR confirmed the on-field decision.
Incident at 23 seconds:

Not a foul for me. I suspect if it was 2 weeks ago VAR would have recommended a review, but following the Fulham situation they will have probably been told to keep a very low profile.

The comms they put out contradict reality which isn't helpful

Thought this was very soft… more of a foul from Fernandez, if anything.

Excellent quick red for the SFP later on though.

Which could all be avoided if Howard Webb did not buckle under public pressure and threw his officials right under the bus.

I hate the referees call phase they use also because if the referee did not give a foul, they would not of intervened and rightly so because there is just simply no foul there at all.

On a more positive note, excellent decision for the red card also, just feel such a rare sight too see a ref going straight red right away.

Agreed it was an excellent SFP decision!
