       Anthony Taylor TOT v CHE

       Well, I don’t really know how to describe this but let’s give it
       a go.
       Ball over the top from Chelsea, Alonso chasing it, Spurs goalie
       comes out, jumps and tries to play it with his feet (the ball is
       over 6 foot in the air). Goalie misses the ball (which is around
       12 yards) and WWE style takes out Alonso out in the area.
       Mr Taylor awards a free kick to....... Spurs.
       VAR [probably in disbelief] overturns to give Chelsea a penalty.
       Goalie receives a yellow card?!

       Should have been a red card in my opinion. How he has decided a
       free out is beyond me... In his last two games, the Manchester
       derby and today, he has been saved by VAR.

       If it is a foul it surely has to be red for Serious Foul Play-
       what exactly has he given the yellow for??

       VAR having a blinding game today. Paul Tierney I believe. Son
       kicking out at Rudiger with Taylor giving nothing. Decision
       correctly overturned.

       VAR has got Taylor out of jail once again.. Taylor having a
       nightmare today sadly.

       Now two VAR interventions,
       PK correct and I agree with yellow card only reckless for me but
       had the referee given red VAR should have supported.
       RC for VC against Son 100% correct
       Two calls Anthony Taylor should have gotten correct in real
       time. He's had quite a number of VAR interventions in both the
       PL and Europe this season, as I said in another thread UEFA view
       him as England's* number 1 but incidents like this can't help
       that reputation
       ** Edited as I originally said our number 1, as an Irishman I
       cannot claim Mr.Taylor as a compatriot! Been spending too much
       time on here ;)

       Initial reaction on BBC website was that one angle suggests
       Alonso handled the ball and if that was the view Mr Taylor had,
       then decision understandable. YC correct imho as no contact was
       made by keeper.
       Second incident, difficult in real time but Son after falling
       over then moves his leg stiffly in an upright position which
       replays clearly show, which again imho is unnatural - vc, red
       card.

       Can someone explain the almost penalty free kick?
       Why was it not given as offside?

       One of the nuances of VAR protocol.  Had it been inside the
       penalty area the decision would have been offside, but because
       the check was for free kick or penalty once the decision was
       free kick they can't look at the offside.  Daft I know, but
       that's how it is.
