If the incident was a clear penalty as many of those watching believe, why was it not looked at by the video assistant referee?

In the Premier League that may well have happened - but at this World Cup VAR is being used a little differently.

Pierluigi Collina, Fifa's head of referees, wants a higher threshold for challenges on the field and consistency of decision-making - if you let more tackles go on the field, you must have fewer VAR interventions.

That could be the reason why there appeared to be no VAR review of this specific incident.

Darren Cann, the 2010 World Cup final assistant referee, feels the wrong decision was made.

"As an England fan I am delighted that it wasn't given," he said on BBC One.

"But I have to be honest, for me this should have been referred...

"Konsa makes absolutely no contact at all with the ball, he brings down his opponent. He is airborne, he is out of control, he makes contact with the attacker. For me this was a penalty kick."
