Isn't it great to see real football back tackles not being called fouls, But as usual managers are complaining about how there poor little darlings are being man handled, Its a mans game grow a pair and man up, it was great to watch players winning the ball and a foul wasnt given because a hair touched the the others leg in winning the ball

There was one I actually thought was a foul. The one the player in possession didn’t see the opponent come and step over the ball and use his thigh to dump the player in possession to the ground. That use of thigh obviously goes on a lot, but in that case it’s a foul and was often given before var and player protection.

Despite their strikers’ view on MOTD, I’d expect Shearer and Wright to argue their teams get a free kick rather than a goal against them, and they’d probably get the free kick. It gets allowed when it’s just like the equal shoulder to shoulder, not come in and use your upper or lower body to barge the opponent off the ball without touching the ball until he’s on the ground.

It was a bad foul and luckily VAR was able to prove the fact to the ref who may not have seen it properly.
The law makers seem unable to differentiate between a tackle and a foul.
