Lesser spotted 8 second infringement from Leeds goalkeeper. The Sky cameras missed it as well.
I was surprised the penalty needed to go to VAR and wasn’t at least a yellow. Probably should’ve been stopped a lot sooner too.Darlow almost ran out of time again I noticed not long afterwards.
I do have to ask though, how can Gillett view the penalty at the monitor and not think the penalty for a boot to the head is not a yellow card(at least) I will never know.
Great decision with the final penalty shout though. Looked a blatant pen until you see the replays
I dont think it was a corner though. Not 100% sure Leeds player even touched it but I definitely thought I saw a touch after the challenge by Spurs player before it went out.I was surprised the penalty needed to go to VAR and wasn’t at least a yellow.

The protocol on The IFAB website just says they can review a "clearly incorrectly awarded corner kick if the decision can be changed immediately and without delaying the restart (competition option)".Someone with better knowledge will correct me but I think VAR will only intervene if the corner directly leads to a goal. Can't wait to see how many touches after the corner is taken for it to no longer be considered 'directly'.
The worst outcome will be referees asking players not to take the restart so that VAR can check it.
Or a mandatory extra drinks/TV advertisement breakMy understanding is corner kicks or goal kicks can only change if the restart has NOT been taken already. I also understand the wording means the referee does not delay taking the restart so that VAR can check it. The problem I see with this, for close calls, I see teams rushing to take the restart quickly so the VAR doesn't change it and give it to opponents. This can also be a good thing.
Or one of the opposition will conveniently need to do his shoelaces up or stand in the way stop it being taken so they have time to check
