a slide tackle from behind that makes no contact with the ball and takes out the player completely is borderline? i think the ref thought Stephens got the ball or might have and VAR simply said he didnt.
Interesting VAR call there. Undoubtedly a bad lunge by Stephens but Cedric already had the ball. No idea how you call that except I'd have wanted a pen.
I'd actually argue that its exactly the sort of decision VAR is good for. Ref couldnt see it very well, so he had help
Anyway, it was a pen in the end, let’s get another goal. Djenepo and Adams on for Long and Armstrong.
