Interesting VAR there. Looked nothing from Walker in slow motion and VAR said no red card. But when watched at normal speed, a definite red.

I wonder if an unexpected side effect of VAR is by slowing it down means that contacts in the box look more like contact so "justifies" when people then fall over, because you get no indication if there was any real force to justify it, and that slowing down the incident today, since the victim didn't fall over, makes it look like there wasn't enough contact to justify a red card. Basically all I'm saying is that they can't simply rely on slowing something down to get the right answer and that slowed down footage often gives the wrong impression.

If anything, Dortmund's season got knocked off its axis in February/March where they were knocked out of two competitions and dropped nine points out of a possible fifteen to let Bayern back into the title race
2nd February: 1-1 draw with Eintracht Frankfurt (Bundesliga)
5th February: 3-3 draw with Werder Bremen, losing on penalties (DfB Pokal)
9th February: 3-3 draw with Hoffenheim (Bundesliga)
13th February: 3-0 loss to Spurs (Champions League)
18th February: 0-0 draw with relegation threatened Nurnburg (Bundesliga)
24th February: 3-2 win over Leverkusen (Bundesliga)
1st March: 2-1 loss to Augsburg (Bundesliga)
5th March: 1-0 loss to Spurs (Champions League)
 
Oh yeah, I haven't updated the list in a while...

The following teams cannot finish above us

Bournemouth
Brighton
Burnley
Cardiff
Crystal Palace
Everton
Fulham
Huddersfield
Leicester
Newcastle
Southampton
West Scam

...although, weirdly, Watford and Wolves can in spite of being behind Everton and Leicester respectively
