🆘 : An appalling performance from Barrott, denied a blatant penalty contrary to all the evidence in cahoots with VAR before allowing a foul to go unchecked for the opposition’s unlikely winner, that both incidents involved the same player confounded the concern. VAR provides a second chance, doubling down on dodgy decisions suggests someting sinister.
