Surely the solution to the ridiculous VAR decisions last weekend is easy. Refs should be trying to reward attacking play with goals rather than looking for pedantic means to disallow them. If there is any grey area at all, the benefit of the doubt should go to the team that has scored. It might also help if the people operating VAR had played the game. The referee's body the PGMOL has effectively admitted it got the Cornet 'goal' decision wrong. There was no way Jarrod Bowen's challenge was an obvious foul, he tried to avoid Mendy in what is a contact sport, though he might have looked at the keeper in a funny way. If the officials can't agree or it takes more than 30 seconds to decide then the conclusion should be that there was no offence.

Now I hope we don't miss out on Europe by 1 point, or, even worse, don't stay up by 1 point, either way costs us big money
Indeed, I fear that point will prove costly.
