I think last season, VAR 100% gets involved. But with the new lighter touch, things need to be 100% obvious for them to get involved. I think there’s enough in this in that red isn’t completely wrong, but neither was yellow.So if you think it might not be a red, is it an error? I think since VAR has been introduced, I can only recalled 2 instances where a red card has been overturned for a yellow card.
Its one of those where I can understand why the ref went for red but if it does not meet the threshold for serious foul play then maybe the VAR should get involved?
