Big one next Sunday …. Celtic v Rangers. Wonder how those supporters givng him grief, feel about Boyata after he scored the winning goal today? Wonder how these same fans could feel if Boyata makes a goal-scoring clearance and scores the winner next weekend?

Wolves go 1 up, clear handball not spotted by the officials.

I was wondering what would have happened if VAR was being used.

The Wolves player, IMO, tried to get his head on the ball and only had his arm extended to cushion his landing. I don’t think it was a deliberate handball, so would the goal have been allowed to stand, under VAR review?
This incident was nothing like the travesty we suffered at Watford, which was a deliberate handball, but I would guess most, if not all, refs would have disallowed the Wolves effort.
Referees shouldn’t give a penalty unless they think the handball was intentional, so should they rule out a goal scored, unintentionally, by a hand/arm?
