Real time is totally subjectable without VAR, and he got away with it.
I don't know about you guys @dyslexic nam @shorty, but I'm seeing clear space between his heel and the line.
We are using screen grabs from a dodgy video, so I can imagine what VAR refs would be able to see.
And with VAR you're giving the kicker a second chance, and the tactic may not be that beneficial in the end. imo.
