By being so emphatic about the penalty, the ref prevented VAR from intervening - play continued and there was no way they were going to roll it back after that.
I’m glad that both conceded goals were stupid mistakes, but I hope they’re out of our system now.
I haven’t heard about that, but the rules do say that VAR will check “at the next stoppage of play”. I guess full time counts as a stoppage… and when the laws were first written, they didn’t anticipate VAR

Isn’t there precedent for VAR to call play back for a pen even after the final whistle. I swear I remember it happening in a man united match
