    Lol, Spurs missed a 1v1 chance with the keeper and Fernandez was given a red card after a soft Foul on Maddison that he absolutely milks

      That red card was pure karma, given how many times Fernandez has hacked players down while at the same time he’s flopped around dramatically when someone has breathed on him, looking to get them carded.

        Absolutely, lol. I still find it strange that VAR let the red stand.

        I guess it’s not entirely “clear and obvious” enough to overturn. I was also wondering if, although the tackle wasn’t dangerous, Fernandez’s attempt was reckless and could have been more dangerous

          I think VAR is asleep. Like actually, have we seen any overturns by VAR so far this season? Referee just waits for a few seconds and then says confirmed, go ahead.

          E: ESPN says 10 overturns so far this season, but we’ve been involved in none of them.
