Premier League players

A look at the big VAR rulings in the Premier League, including a big penalty claim for Jack Grealish and a possible offside on Arsenal's winner.

Some [Everton](/soccer/team?id=368) players appealed for a penalty but after [Yerry Mina](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/196901/Yerry-Mina) fired over the bar, referee Stuart Attwell gave the goal kick. [Jacob Ramsey](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/286090/Jacob-Ramsey) had gone down in the area just before, and there was a check for a possible foul in the buildup. The striker appealed for a penalty but the referee, Thomas Bramall, waved away the appeals ( [watch here](https://youtu.be/t9qqTsF8zEk?t=246).) The VAR in that game, Darren England, had better available evidence but decided he couldn't be sure that there was a handball offence -- and the Spurs player can consider himself very lucky the penalty wasn't awarded. Most believed the Gunners were denied a clear spot kick when [Gabriel](http://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/236322/Gabriel) had his shirt pulled back by [Dan Burn](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/198138/Dan-Burn). Before this incident, six goals had been disallowed this season through VAR for a foul in the buildup -- with three of those deemed incorrect by the independent assessment panel. The [Ukraine](/soccer/team?id=457) international then pulled the ball back for Odegaard to have the shot on goal. [Leicester City 2-2 Brighton & Hove Albion](/soccer/report?gameId=638028) [Arsenal](/soccer/team?id=359)'s claims for a penalty against [Newcastle United](/soccer/team?id=361). There's always a misconception that the VAR isn't checking or reviewing something, but the feed is always available to the match commentators in the Premier League. He was caught on the calf by the [Wolverhampton Wanderers](/soccer/team?id=380) player, but referee David Coote ignore the [England](/soccer/team?id=448) international's claims for a penalty and gave a goal kick. VAR review: This comes down to the exemption that a player cannot be penalised for handball if their arm is down to support the body.
