As a neutral, I thought it was a shocker. Yes he caught him, but from what I saw none of the Spurs player was actually in the box. The ball was level with the line. But if that’s a goal line the balls not over so it’s not a goal. So how was it a penalty.

on the line is in the box for a foul, different rule to a goal where whole ball has to be over the line

Not only that, there was a massive handball by the spurs player in the build up. Both arms above his head away from his body, yet not given. Spurs fans will no doubt argue KWP also handballed it first but his arm was by his side and Vestergaard drilled it into him from a yard away.
Yet the foul, no one asked for a pen, no one questioned the refs decision, everyone accepted it was free kick, then var gets involved...
I've said it before but every single game virtually is being affected by this awful system. Unless its binned or radically changed next season I can see the being me done with top flight football.

Your saying what ave said for an age. Every player accepts what is going on then VAR spots something. I thought the Spurs players would be getting pins and needles in there hands running around with them above There head so much.
I would be livid if that decision had gone against us.
For me the rules are as clear as mud.
A goal, all the ball has to be over the line.
off side, Any part of the body is offside, even a part you cannot score with.
Penalty, the player don’t have to be in the box, just the ball on the line, not over it.

Think it was Hojbjerg your speaking about I thought he had his elbows tucked near his side and not above his head plus he was to close when the ball hit him as was the Southampton player when the ball hit him in the arm.
 
It was a pen. It was on the line and I wouldn't argue for the spurs handball as it only went that way after coming off a saints players arm seconds previously. Imo neither were handball.

Whether we like VAR is another thing. But the right decision was made unfortunately.

Strange comment. Just because none of the players realised the contact was in the box doesn't make it the wrong decision to give a penalty...

If anything this is var doing its job

We had a pen last week for handball nobody saw but it was handball and it was missed by the ref

I think the tackle was in the box but it looked like handball by Spurs player just before.
If you put your hands up like that in a wall it’s handball.
Players are told this often by refs. There is no consistency .
But bad challenge
