Moyes whinging over the penalty incident with Thiago. Moyes claimed he lunged, lost control and his arm prevented a through ball. Claims VAR should've sent the ref over for a second look. But you see these 'hand ball' claims all the time, can't start giving penalties every time the ball brushes a players arm from 2 feet.
It could've gone against us if Thiago was closer to our goal and he stopped a shot in that way but VAR is human and will get things wrong. It was maybe 60/40 in our favour. VAR hasn't eliminated bad calls or unjust results.
We got away with one against Leeds but all teams get bad calls. Some worse than others.
We didn't get away with it against Leeds. In law, there was nothing wrong with the goal that was scored, so it was allowed to stand.
Moyes should be more irate about his defence allowing Matip a free header for the winner, than wanting to ignore a handshake from Jürgen, just to set off for an empty vessel confrontation with Kavanagh, over why he applied the lotg as they stand, not the lotg he wants them to be.
It's our first league win in that garish eyesore of an away kit, that hopefully we'll get rid of asap. But without VAR, we wouldn't have won the game and there would be a lot more here than just 377 posts, as there was after the game there last year. 3 points there last year and we would have won the league. If only.
