Unusual VAR review

[one]

Asian champions league semi final.
Can this be reviewed?
Isn't restart on the whistle? Did referee signal for restart? (EDIT: there was a whistle blown just before the restart) If yes, why? If no why didnt he ask for it to be taken again immediately?

Starts around 7.15

I'm also mystified by the basis for VAR review and the basis for taking away the goal. An opponent improperly on the field wouldn't be a basis for taking back the goal. And the ref would certainly know if he had blown to give permission to restart. Is this simply an "oh #$##" from the R who feels like he unfairly disadvantaged the Blue team as he lost track and didn't realize Blue hadn't finished the sub and wasn't read and therefore felt the goal was unfair?
