    Crazy decision.
    Failing to spot a reckless challenge in the penalty area is the very definition of a clear and obvious error!

    And fairplay to the captain for laying it on so thick and refusing to get up until he got his pen. If the Germans had been so savvy over their handball appeal, they'd still be in this.

    Kane actually played the ball though; the other fellow was late, and didn't.

    Hmmmm........ I'm not sure I buy that challenge as reckless.

    I was also confused by the yellow card. Can you give a yellow based on VAR?

    What’s become clear with VAR is that they’re mostly winging it and preying for post decision consensus.

    Reckless? My arse...

    According to the laws of the game - “Reckless” means that the player has acted with complete disregard to the danger to, or consequences for, his opponent
    “Other clubs never came into my thoughts once I knew Arsenal wanted to sign me.”
