VAR review raises questions as Kulusevski and Caicedo avoid red cards in Premier League matches
Dejan Kulusevski and Moisés Caicedo both faced potential red cards during recent Premier League matches but were not penalized. VAR reviewed their incidents but decided against issuing red cards, raising questions about the consistency of these decisions. In Kulusevski's case, he elbowed Romeo Lavia during a challenge, but VAR deemed the contact insufficient for a red card. Caicedo's challenge on Pape Matar Sarr also went unpunished, as the VAR found the contact minimal and not reckless. In other incidents, Arsenal's William Saliba scored a goal that was confirmed as onside after VAR review, while Ipswich Town's goal was disallowed due to a foul on the goalkeeper. VAR's decisions continue to spark debate over their accuracy and consistency.
