Unlike Brighton vs. Man Utd, Arsenal penalty wasn't awarded after whistle for half had gone.
Referee Craig Pawson stopped play in a neutral area before HT whistle to review, per protocol.
That's why Aubameyang could score rebound. If HT blown, play stops at save. #ARSAVL

Craig Pawson blows once to stop play in a neutral area. He does not "blow for half-time" as we all know referees do with a series of whistles.
He then whistles a couple of times for attention and beckons them to stay on the field, indicating there is a review.

VAR protocol says it's better play carries on during review at the end of the half.
Foul by Targett happened on 46.56, and play continued for 45 seconds until stopped in a neutral area when monitor advised.
Play restarts at 46.56 with the pen, so rebound could be scored.

I'll run through the protocol on this in more detail on Monday.
Craig Pawson didn't get it quite right, but the end result was still correct for Arsenal to be able to score the penalty on the rebound.
