That's not what it says. 2 out of 5 thought it didn't rise to the level of requiring VAR intervention, meaning they thought it plausible that some refs might deem it to only be a yellow.
In other words, they (2 out of 5) believed there was a gray area, unlike the many redditors who are 100% sure of all their opinions.
but the ref missed it and did not even call a foul. VAR got involved because it was clear something happened as the Arsenal player was on the floor and then VAR just did nothing either.
The fact the ref missed it makes it a clear and obvious error surely.
Violent conduct
Ref didn’t see it let alone give a foul let alone give a yellow
Yet 2/5 thought var shouldn’t get involved.
Hard to accept that they’re doing this in good faith.
The ref didn’t see it at all. Isn’t that a clear & obvious error?
I don't even think it falls in to the "error" category. Given how late it was we can't expect the ref to see it. It's surely one of the very things VAR was intended for, off the ball collisions that the referee doesn't see.
