It took him quite long to whistle on both. I think he was getting guidance from his assistants and 4th official on both those challenges.
I think the 4th official definitely mentioned straight red on the first one, don't think Madley had the best view overall to judge for himself. Looks a bit soft but I would not expect VAR to get involved there.
The second one just looked a bit messy from Madley's point of view, it did looked like he forgotten he was already booked until the Fulham players were telling him that was the case and the decision itself looks very harsh but this is where I wish pundits condem the players more for this. Mitrovic has history of this in the infamous Mike Dean red card incident and twice he got a positive result of this blatant play acting.

I'm pretty happy with that being a yellow card. He was simply trying to obstruct a player and if you do so by putting your arms up around face height you take a risk. It wasn't even as if he was moving towards the ball in any way. Mitrovic went to run part him and he put his arm out!
If you watch the incident again, Mitrovic rolls around on the floor like he's been assaulted!! Think the defender just about made contact if any at all.
Andy Madley also doesn't give it at first which must mean he's not too sure whether it's a foul either

Didn’t watch this but Michael Oliver refereed like it was still the world cup and avoided cards last night. Will be interesting how this goes in the next few weeks.

Same game - the gaol that AM let stand and even after VAR sent him over to look at a possible handball.
Isn't this scenario exactly what HW is trying to avoid. Even if AM didn't see the contact, it wasn't one of those "Wow, he got THAT wrong!" moments as it was debateable , at best, if that action met the hadball law criteria - AM clearly thought it didn't, so should't, ideally, VAR think the same and not get involved under HW's 'new' take on things?
