I'm not sure what the Brighton players are complaining about. It's handball. It's a penalty. And Maupay knew it.

And another VAR first in the Premier League with the penalty given after the final whistle had been blown! #BRIMUN

Here is the section of the VAR protocol that sets out a penalty can be given after the final whistle has been blown. #BRIMUN

Excellent to see the tweak to the attacking handball law, which now must lead immediately to a chance, in action for the first time.

As the Kai Havertz handball led to an attempted clearance by a defender, not straight to Mount for the shot, no offence. #WBACHE

Remember when everyone was angry at armpit offsides? Now those were the days.

I'll be on @talkSPORT in a moment talking VAR with @FayeCarruthers & @officialga11.

Been a quiet day though?
