Now I'm going to disagree with this, although this is purely based on the YouTube highlights. I read the article, it was standard manager ranting and saying they were hard done by, so I thought I'd better look at the footage. Watching the 2 penalty decisions, the first one from the ref's position I can see why it was given in real time. VAR, however, should have intervened and overturned it. Not really the ref's fault. The penalty at the end which he didn't give, once again in real time I thought it was a dive, but this time VAR did intervene and the correct decision was arrived upon.
Neither of these were 'stinkers'. Obviously having not watched the game there could have been other incidents that I've not seen however.
