It just shows you how corrupt football has become. Reverse the roles on this were a keeper jumps from the same spot and a player comes flying in an takes him out without getting the ball, ref blows foul on the keeper.
This season VAR have been instructed to leave more decisions to the ref but in this situation it was the perfect time for them to step in and say to him "Have a look at this one on the monitor".
If I were a Wolves fan paying all that money and perform like then only to be done by a ref been bent and VARs mistake I'd be furious.
It just highlights the corruption at top level.
Put it this way, had that been at Wolves and the Wolves keeper coming for it it would have been a stone waller, disgusting.
I felt for Gary O'Neil at the end. I still can't my head which part of it isn't a foul. Even at Sunday ammy level you'd get that given:-
