VAR: Possible foul on the keeper.

VAR: Clock is off.

AVAR: Goal is given.

AR1: I don’t see anything wrong with the porter.

Reference: Field decision is the goal.

VAR: Reviewing the field goal decision.

VAR: OK, let’s play it, let’s play it. Now let’s give it a feel.

VAR: So the keeper there…

VAR: Then it’s just the shot. So, it’s literally a possible offense to Raya, I’m looking at it from that point of view.

AVAR: Yes, and to make sure that it is not in his hands.

VAR: OK, let’s take a hard angle on the goalkeeper.

VAR: On Arsenal Gatekeeper.

Ro: Yes.

VAR: This. Slowly, frame by frame.

VAR: There’s a foul for me. Possible damage to hands.

VAR: The hand holds the hand down. This has implications for me.

VAR: The left arm there is on the body.

VAR: It’s over his head and he catches Raya’s left arm there.

VAR: Limits his ability to get to the ball accurately.

VAR: It doesn’t seem to have that much impact from that point of view.

RO: I have a polar-camera angle.

VAR: Give us the polar-cam.

AVAR: Just like Raya…

AVAR: Because we got that contact, we got…

VAR: Just slow down. Just checking for possible damage to the gate.

AVAR: You’re behind him too, see.

Was: Yes.

RO: I’ll go back to the original angle.

Was: Yes.

VAR: But this is early.

Ro: Want to see it at full speed?

VAR: Yes please.

VAR: Does it affect the goalkeeper for me?

VAR: Go back to the second angle show me the second angle.

Ro: No problem, just going to see.

AVAR: Can you do split screen on both as well?

VAR: This here, this one. Yes, give us split screen. That one and then the first angle.

Ro: Okay goal line?

VAR: No, sorry, this one and this one, thanks.

AVAR: I don’t like Trossard not looking at the ball and you have…

AVAR: I agree, it has an effect, everything is just happening.

AVAR: Let’s say that’s a foul, so what about Trossard’s actions on the same player?

AVAR: What are we saying about Declan Rice in the background?

Was: Yes.

VAR: He still has his hand to the ball, right? When he gets to the ball.

AVAR: What was your first impression when you saw it?

VAR: I think we’re going to send for an on-field assessment to see if there’s a possible foul on the goalkeeper.

VAR: And then we will make him look at other events as well. I think it is the best decision in this regard.

Where: OK

VAR: Chris (Chris Kavanagh – REF), I recommend an on-field assessment for a possible foul on the goalkeeper.

Reference: OK

VAR: So I’ll show you a possible foul on the goalkeeper.

Ro: This angle?

Reference: OK

VAR: Pablo’s left arm comes through Raya and he grabs Raya’s left arm as he goes to win the ball.

Reference: Yes.

VAR: I’m showing you now.

Reference: I can see the clear case on it all over.

VAR: Yes, but then I’m going to show you some, obviously, other angles on the players.

Reference: OK

AVAR: You have Declan Rice and you have Trossard.

Reference: I don’t know what you’re trying to show me, give me a hint.

VAR: Trossard on Pablo. Just look at Trossard on Pablo. Give me a better angle on that.

VAR: I’ll get you a better angle.

Reference: I don’t think there’s much to it, I’m happy with it.

It was: Yes, okay

Reference: That’s okay.

VAR: And if you want to consider Declan Rice’s actions against Mavropanos later on.

VAR: But the foul was committed on the keeper first.

Ref: before it, so… after review, West Ham Number…

When: 19.

Ref: 19. Fol.

Ref: Confirm the number for me again.

When: 19.

VAR: Yes confirmed.

Reference: Mic is open.

Reference: After review, West Ham Number 19 fouled the keeper. The final decision is a direct penalty kick.
