I think because the incident happened before the final whistle its got to be looked at
Really? I assumed the final whistle meant it’s all over. What happens if the spot something half an hour after the final whistle goes when the teams are back in the changing room?

If VAR said to the Referee straight after the incident that something suspicious had happened and it needed looking into then the ref wont take them off the field, even if it takes 30mins (which'll see VAR getting absolutely slated for taking that long in the first place) - VAR would have basically said to the ref that he's blown for full time too early and should have given the penalty

It’s the right decision, definitely shows why VAR is necessary I just would have thought there’s a time after which incidents won’t be reviewed and it would make sense if that time was the final whistle.

I think its just a fluke of luck with this incident that its effectively happened exactly as the whistles been blown
What would have been interesting had the referee taken the players off only for VAR to then suddenly look back and see it
If it got to that point though I wonder if VAR would quietly ignore it and take the brunt of missing the incident rather than telling the ref that the Goalkeeper and penalty taker need to return to the pitch because something got spotted thirty minutes ago... As reckon that would be so much more damaging for VAR on the whole
The whistle went like 5 seconds after the header, VAR need time to review. Would be a different story if play went on for another minute and then the final whistle went

Exciting match.

Guess if all that can happen before the ref blows the whistle (again) then guess its allowed
That's all that matters
