It was a clear and obvious error and VAR should have shown it to the ref to make his own mind on it.
I still don’t understand this whole clear and obvious error requirement. If the ref misses something, then VAR should intervene and inform the referee to relook at the incident. If he deems his original decision correct, then we move on.
The fact that it’s an error but VAR doesn’t see it as clear and obvious and opts not to direct the ref to the monitor is so weird.
The ref may have said to VAR he saw the challenge and whatever and whatever and feels it's okay. In which case it's not clear AND obvious error. If the ref said he didn't see whatever whatever in his explication then it's clear and obvious he has missed something.
