I really don't think he could have avoided it as easily as you say. It looked to me like he did try and hurdle the leg as he was trying to score, and he was just caught. Remember it's easy to say what you're saying when watching the slow motion replay, but Willian is a pacey player, and in reality that is all happening very quickly.I think a lot of us don’t think he was tripped.
for me, he hurdles the tackle and leaves he leg trailing. He plays to be caught.
He isn’t clattered and giving no choice. He could have avoided contact and had an effort and then complained and let the ref decide if he was impeded, which imo is exactly what var should be used for.
