The reasons why Everton's late penalty against Man United was destroyed by VAR have now been revealed.
In the last moments of the 2-2 draw in Goodison Park, Toffees fans were sent in a frenzy when referee Andy Madley pointed to the place in the 93rd minute.
The decision came after the former United player Ashley Young was sent to the floor when he was challenged by Harry Maguire and Matthijs de Ligt in the box.
However, Everton's hope for taking a late victory was deposited when Madley reversed his decision after he was advised to go to the monitor by Var Official Matthew Donohue and the match ended 2-2.
Toffees -Baas David Moyes was left furious with the decision, but it has now been revealed why the first call was destroyed.
According to ESPN, the incident must be split into divorce moments – starting with the referee's call to grant a fine for an error by Maguire on Young.
When assessing, the United Defender could be seen with his hand on the hip of Young, but did not attempt to hold or pull the Everton-Wing-Back.
The VAR therefore ruled that Maguire's efforts were not enough to make it tumbled young to the ground and therefore saw it as 'a clear and obvious error' that had to be destroyed.
There is then the subject of the role of De Ligt in the incident, because he had also made contact with Young before he went to the ground.
The outlet claims that “the referee had given the fine for the actions of Dutch International, there would have been no VAR assessment.” However, the referee had punished Maguire, not De Ligt.
As a result, VAR officials had to decide whether the actions of De Ligt were worth an assessment if the referee had not given anything.
While civil servants believed that De Ligt kept young during the passage of the game, they described it as a 'volatile' incident and that the Everton star had an exaggerated fall.
This therefore did not meet the threshold for a clear and obvious error for a fine.
Moreover, due to the fact that Madley chose to punish Maguire and not De Ligt, he only saw reviews from corners that concentrated on the defender of the England. For this reason he did not see the camera corner of the goal mouth.
After the match, Moyes was now insisting that referee Andy Madley was wrong to destroy an injury time for Everton.
“I can't understand. He (De Ligt) pulled his sweater, “said Moyes. “I just thought the referee made the right decision at the time and he should stay with it.
“I think everyone who watches football, we all look forward to seeing a referee say:” No, no, I stay with it. “
'If it is absolutely clear and clear, that is what we have VAR for, but I didn't think it had to be involved.
“It's frustrating. It seemed like me as if the shirt trait had to be given. You shouldn't get away with pulling sweaters.
“I thought he had to be pulled back or stumbled. It was only when I saw it on the screen when I came back that I saw the pull on the sweater. Ash has been a forward player for most of his career and part of your work is to get fines. '
