Why on earth did he give the red before looking at the screen ??
I have a feeling that it was process and that he had to give a red so he can then VAR it but I dont know.

He was booking havertz for the foul

That’s an argument I’m sympathetic too but VAR checks for straight red cards as far as I’m aware. Not if an additional yellow should have been issued

Intent. Should've been a yellow for the tackle and a yellow for the aggressive intent.

VAR cannot help with a 2nd yellow.
BUT... Atwell saw the slap when it happened. He should not have needed VAR to see a second yellow offense.

Initially I thought that. But another angle looked like an attempt at a slap. I suppose it’s not entirely clear. The officials don’t seem to all be in agreement with each other either.

He always got pushed to the top without talent. If it came out he was Mike Riley’s nephew or something would make total sense

The american broadcast who is notoriously anti tottenham are stunned and have no idea how ziyech wasn't sent off, at least for a second yellow at minimum

The lack of playmaker has caused us so many issues over the last few seasons. It feels like it’s even further exacerbated by Royal now coming inside as it pushes Kulu out wide. It certainly helps Royal but I feel like it doesn’t help the team as Kulu is our only creative AM.

I’d be embarrassed to go down like royal did from such a wet slap ?

He didn’t punch him, he pushed. Didn’t look like a straight red to me.
Ref/VAR communication mess, though. What persuaded Attwell to issue the red card before he’d seen the video and then decide to have a proper look?

Yeah I see H88 clarified above, so in essence for Ziyech to get a yellow the red had to be produced first. VAR is a farce though, it’s never cut and dry.

I think we'd look even worse against 10 men, tbf.

Makes absolutely zero common sense to not be able to book someone for the foul (which he was about to do anyway) and book them for the raised hands.

I would have thought the VAR confirmed his decision. In the end he withdrew it after looking at it. Ffs.Why on earth did he give the red, BEFORE looking at the screen ??
