Huge problems with VAR in this game. Bournemouth thought they had gone 2 up but there was a question as to whether the goal scorer had accidentally handled the ball. Was very difficult to tell, and they eventually went on decide it hadn't and then went to check offside. At that point the semi-automated offside technology decided to breakdown and they had to resort to drawing the lines manually. Whilst all of this was happening it appears comms between VAR and referee also failed, end result was a delay just short of 8 minutes before the goal was disallowed, and Sam Barrott had to get both managers together to explain what was happening. To be fair to them, the managers and coaching staff were having a laugh about it, but the fans weren't happy and vented their annoyance.
Away from VAR, Matheus Cunha imploded again and has landed himself in all kinds of problems. Got in a row with Milos Kerkez, clearly struck him in the face with a swinging arm, then when he got back up headbutted him. Rightly shown the red card, then fought with multiple people as they tried to get him down the tunnel, including an altercation with 4th official Rob Jones. You would have to assume he is going to be in a world of trouble, no spectacles stolen this time so he can't offer to buy a new pair to reduce his sentence.
