Brighton and Hove Albion were left livid after a potential penalty was waved away in their Premier League encounter with Manchester City. Despite VAR review, the on-field decision was upheld, much to the chagrin of the Seagulls. The incident occurred in the second half when Joao Pedro made a surge into the box and was seemingly clipped by Josko Gvardiol. Referee Jarred Gillett dismissed the home side’s pleas for a spot-kick, a decision that was backed up by VAR. Commentators suggested Pedro may have gone down too easily, but VAR’s limitations prevented them from recommending a yellow card for simulation.
