VAR vs Arsenal

(Thread)
McLean tackle on Guendouzi after the ball had been played. Studs up, endangering an opponent.

Yellow card apparently.
Shirt pull in the box by an Arsenal player = penalty.

Done on an Arsenal player. Nothing.
Possibly the most ridiculous decision VAR will ever make. Chambers 'fouled' the opponent here and the winning goal scored by Sokratis was chalked off.
Throughout the season you see some weak penalties being given. A clear as day trip on Pepe however, not given.
Apparently you're allowed to stand in the opposition's box from a goal kick.

Watford scored seconds later.
Only one of these is deemed to be 'endangering an opponent'.
No red card here.
Apparently not a penalty.
I'm sure we were told a 'scissor motion' is endangering an opponent. https://twitter.com/DammitArsenal/status/1280606485471301632?s=19
Not VAR directly, but no second yellow given to Jorghino here.

He went on to score the winner.
Again, not VAR but...

Neil Taylor in fact actually stamps on Maitland-Niles.

Ref gave a second yellow to Maitland-Niles.
Not a red card apparently.
