Definitely not a penalty when Moura was fouled by Kepa. VAR correct to override for the second time.

I haven't seen the incident but if he was "fouled by Kepa" then why wouldn't it be a penalty? Or are you saying he wasn't fouled by Kepa?

There definately wasn’t a foul by Kepa , he took the ball cleanly , Marriner would have been better to let play develop and send the penalty appeal to VAR

I know they allow play to develop for VAR to check later when there is an offside "just in case" but surely they are not supposed to do that when a foul is involved.  That seems like a recipe for all sorts of retribution to take place.

But there wasn’t a foul the fact Kepa took the ball cleanly backs that up and one can only assume that Marriner guessed or was too quick with the whistle , No way Marriner could be 100% sure it was a penalty

I am sure that Andre from his position was 100 pct sure there was a foul otherwise he wouldnt have given a penalty kick, the fact that other camera angles available to the var proved there wasnt a foul is exactly what var is there for to prevent a clear and obvious error. If Andre wasnt 100 pct sure he would not have give the penalty kick. Everyone makes mistakes or errors of judgement.
