Possible disallowed goal: Guéhi too close to wall

What happened: Eberechi Eze fired Crystal Palace into the lead in the 13th minute, powering a free kick past goalkeeper Robert Sánchez.

Verdict: You can't say this was a wrong decision, because at the point the free kick was struck Palace defender Marc Guéhi had pushed Moisés Caicedo across and into the wall.



That, too, wasn't given through VAR.

Verdict: As it looked like Sánchez may have got a touch on the ball around the same time as Guéhi, which is a major influence on a VAR decision.

There should have been a VAR intervention as the clear likelihood is Ekitike would take control of the ball and be in on goal.

VAR review: The first handball penalty of the season came in the very first gameweek, after only nine were awarded in the whole of last season.

The movement of Sangaré's high arm to a high ball persuaded referee Peter Bankes that it was a deliberate act.

Verdict: With the Premier League's lenient interpretation of handball, Sangaré can probably consider himself unlucky as another referee may view the contact as natural movement and accidental (while he wasn't looking at the ball) -- and the VAR wouldn't have got involved.

There was a quick check from the VAR, Neil Davies.

VAR decision: No penalty.

VAR review: There was a coming together between the two players, but with the ball not within playing distance referees usually look for a very clear off the ball foul if they are to give a penalty.

Verdict: Porro's challenge was clumsy, and he likely knew what he was doing in colliding with Anthony
