The Premier League's Independent Key Match Incidents Panel has ruled the referee and the VAR were correct to award Newcastle United's winning goal against Arsenal.
No. The article suggests everyone on the panel personally thought that the elbow was a red card offense. But only 3 out of 5 thought it was a clear and obvious error to not give a red. Meaning that 2 out of 5 believed there was a gray area where some refs could plausibly judge the offense to only be a yellow.

I don’t get how you can reconcile that.
This isn’t a grey area red card. And the ref didn’t give it a red card.
If that’s not the definition of clear and obvious, then what is?
Ok Anthony Taylor
