Advantage question

Using the VAR decision on the West Ham Vs Arsenal match as an example to make it easier to explain what I am asking,

If for example a corner kick is played, and in this instance an Arsenal player is holding a West Ham, player however the West Ham plays the ball to a teammate and I decide to give advantage, if there was a trip by another West Ham player on an Arsenal player immediately after playing advantage. What happens?

1) Does the original advantage continue
2) Do I cancel the advantage and give the free kick for the 1st offence in this case to the West Ham player that was being held
3) Give the free kick to Arsenal and therefore cancelling the advantage for the trip

If no advantage actually accrues, you punish the first offence, regardless of who committed it. So in this case, number 2 is your answer
