Possible penalty: Handball by Shaw
What happened: The ball was played into the box by Kostas Tsimikas in the 84th minute, bouncing up and hitting Shaw´s arm. Liverpool´s players wanted a penalty from referee Michael Oliver, who ignored the appeals, and the VAR came into action.
VAR decision: No penalty.
VAR review: The ball came off Shaw´s leg, bounced and went up onto his arm, which was in an expected position for his movement. Even without the touch off the leg, we should not expect a penalty to be awarded for this in the Premier League with its more lenient application of the handball law.
While there´s no automatic exemption for a deflection off the body, the arm would have to be fully extended away from it for the defending player to be judged to be committing a handball offence -- as with the handball penalty by João Gomes for Wolves against Luton Town earlier this season.

We saw a penalty incorrectly given through VAR to Paris Saint-Germain against Newcastle United in the Champions League last month after the ball deflected off Lewis Miley and onto his arm, which was also in an expected position for his movement and not out creating a barrier. UEFA removed the video assistant referee in that game from their next appointment.
We´ve seen a number of similar situations in the Premier League this season not penalised, including Virgil van Dijk against Brighton & Hove Albion when the ball came off his thigh and onto his arm.

Det er altså ikke en fritagelse, at den rammer en lovlig del før armen, som mange tror.
Det var et ønske fra flere, men det blev ikke vedtaget af IFAB.
