    However, there was a problematic moment in injury time when Matthijs de Ligt pulled Ashley Young down in the penalty area. Referee Andy Madley initially pointed to a penalty, but VAR official Matt Donohue signaled for Madley to replay before overturning the decision, with Owen stating that VAR had not given the correct view to the referee.

    “In my opinion they didn’t see it from the right angle,” Owen told Premier League Productions. “If everything we saw in real time during the game was the angle the referee took, I don’t blame the referee for saying it wasn’t.”

    “But he didn’t get the right angle. He must have seen the angle from behind the goal, zoomed in. From that angle – it looked like a dive. I agree with the referee. It can’t be a penalty on that evidence. The VAR made the referee think hard. He didn’t get the angles that were needed to decide whether it was a foul or not.”

    “This angle (behind the goal) is the only angle he wanted and it’s the only angle he didn’t see. There are two angles that show the shirt being pulled. There’s no replay that shows the shirt being pulled. VAR should be blamed, not the referee – VAR didn’t give him the right angle.” ( mungme168 )
