ARSENAL VS CHELSEA

I think it was DOGSO but I also think it's a forgivable error and I would next expect it to be overturned by VAR.

My initial thought was DOGSO and remained unchanged after seeing the replays. For me, the covering defender had a bit of ground to cover. However, I can understand why there is a bit of debate about it.

If it's debatable, caution is fairest imo. I set a fairly high bar for DOGSO
I think Rudiger was jogging and would've accelerated to cover the opportunity if required

I think this wasn't DOGSO (primarily because I think Rudiger was covering enough where it wasn't an OBVIOUS opportunity with the angle). However, had Taylor gone with DOGSO, I wouldn't have had any complaints. I also think this is a great example of where the call on the field should stand, whatever that call was. It just wasn't a clear and obvious error regardless of what the call was on the field.
