First the Spammers are denied a last minute equaliser and now the Goons star player has got a red card because of it, I love VAR
VAR done right. More of this please.

Someone really should be made to explain why Aubemayoung was sent off and why Sterling wasn't.
I get it that two refs judging incidents in real time can come to different conclusions, but when you have a team of refs rewatching incidents for minutes - refs who at the very least should be aware of recent sending offs and look to apply some sort of consistency in their decision making - it makes absolutely no sense that these two fouls didn't have the identical outcome.

I wonder what would have happened if Spurs had gone up the other end and scored in the 2 minutes it took to call it?

I reckon the VAR would have bottled it and said nothing. No one apart from Kevin Friend the VAR and possibly Mike Dean knew the review was still ongoing anyway. So goal scored, just carry on.
If City had scored, they'd have let it ride*; if Spurs had scored, it would have been bought back.
* Imagine the hilarity/consternation if they had, but Dean had ruled it out and awarded them a penalty, which Lloris then saved.
...And, in the meantime, someone had been sent off for destroying Sterling's right knee, but then they had to come back on because the card was deemed never to have been issued.
I think this did happen recently where a team scored and it was struck off and they awarded a penalty the other way from an earlier passage of play?I wonder what would have happened if Spurs had gone up the other end and scored in the 2 minutes it took to call it?
Yeah lets have more hair-splitting madness that sabotages perfectly good goals.Why should it be in the attackers favour?
