It hasn’t really been a great weekend for VAR, but now it’s starting to stir controversy not only because of the decisions that are being made, but also because of the incidents that are actually being reviewed.
This incident was highlighted from the Man United vs Arsenal game on Sunday, and there’s no way this couldn’t be a red card for Gabriel Jesus for a clear kick to Lisandro Martinez:

Time will tell if any retrospective action is going to be taken here, but it’s another surprise in a howling weekend for VAR.
