The VAR system once again came under scrutiny during the match between Tottenham and Chelsea when Moisés Caicedo escaped punishment for a rough tackle on Pape Matar Sarr.
Details: Caicedo tackled the ball and struck the Spurs player’s shin with his studs, prompting immediate reactions from Sky commentators Peter Drury and Jamie Carragher, who stated that it could lead to serious consequences. The former Liverpool player was shocked when VAR decided that no further action was necessary.
"I don’t like when players are sent off, I always believe that referees should do everything they can to keep the game 11v11. But it was absolutely clear that this should have been a red card. It was a serious foul by Chelsea," Carragher remarked.
Additionally, Caicedo wasn’t even booked for the incident, and many fans on social media fully supported Carragher's opinion.
