And yet Southgate claims nobody is pushing him for the England number 1 spot. Pickford is a total liability
Come on Rusty, they are England teammates FGS (fact). Since when do we listen to what comes out of a player's mouth? I was one of them once!Maguire has publicly come out and said that he pushed Pickford and therefore it should have been a defensive free kick and not a penalty. Which I would say clear this one up, as I said above that was my view at the time, there's a clear hand in the chest and push.
I don't think that clears anything up! No defensive FK was given either - so it's not the case that the game was stopped before the penalty foul occurred, and no VAR review happened to reach that conclusion. Instead, all that's happened is both fouls got missed.Maguire has publicly come out and said that he pushed Pickford and therefore it should have been a defensive free kick and not a penalty.

Irrespective of whether Pickford was fouled or not, why wasn't there an on field review?
The foul by Pickford was a clear error in isolation.The VAR will only recommend an OFR if the VAR believes there was clear error. So you can’t really say there should be an OFR unless you say there was a clear error.
