My honest and balanced take on that decision:
Yes it is a foul by Pablo - he grabs hold of Raya’s arm which clearly impedes his ability to collect the ball
But has VAR has completely overlooked a series of events that precede this….
- Trossard has two arms around Pablo and is wrestling him from the moment the corner is taken. He doesn’t let go and he’s not even looking at the ball for christ sake.
- Gabriel is also blatantly pulling on his shirt.
- This restricts Pablo’s ability to jump for the ball, where he without question has a very good opportunity of beating Raya to the ball and scoring a header.
- The pulling and grappling also results in Pablo’s arm flying out to help retain his balance.
- On top of this, Havertz hauls Soucek to the ground before the corner comes in, whilst Rice is all over Summerville and then Mavropanos.
If you’re going to micro-analyse 25 different angles of the Raya incident alone for 5 minutes because it’s such a huge moment, how can you just ignore everything else happening around it?

Gary Neville is the best right back the Premier League has ever had. Because of his punditry, his modern public image & his humble self-perception as a player means his career is largely underrated.
You don't stumble into 8 Premier League titles, or be named in PL TOTY 5x times, or be part of a Treble winning side, or represent England 85 times, or Captain your club for half a decade.
None of this is an accident. He earned it & then some.
