Sustained pulling on Quansah, VAR rightly sends the red to the monitor.

Wouldn't have been given in EPL as he wasnt getting on the end of it

Thing is, i fully agree with this.
Lots of teams are cheating in many ways, trying to gain massive edges, in several situations and our refs are buying it with red cards for players being clearly antagonised by opponents looking for confrontation or lots of holding and grabbing of shirts to stop runs especially at set pieces.

If EPL refs actually started doing this (what the Danish ref done) and clamping down on what is effectively gamesmanship then I could see, eventually, this being eradicated.
 
Was a little surprised it was given to be honest, as I don’t think it was a sustained hold that impacted Quansah’s ability to challenge for the ball. Had Quansah not thrown himself to the ground, I doubt we get it, which means we’re effectively rewarding him for doing so. But I suppose the defender chose to play silly games and guess what he won?
