No matter how well it was struck, the 27 inch circumference ball making it's way through the 3 inch gap between Joe Hart's hands is absolutely peak Joe Hart.

Really good first half an hour. Arse cheeks games last few years have been turgid shite, but this has been entertaining, and both teams very, very lucky not to have conceded as that VAR call was really weak, and Kyogo's missed sitters.  

It'll be evened out over the season, surely?

There was a very similar foul given in a Rangers Europa League match a couple of seasons ago.
Opponent kicked their leg, but rationale was the foul was stopping opponent playing the ball (whilst in the act of passing/shooting).

The only possible explanation is that they deem Dessers' placing his foot between Lagerbielke and the ball to be an attempt to trip or impede his ability to play the ball.

But I can't agree with that - he wasn't lunging or breaking stride.

This is what I think it was for.

Same thing happened in a Rangers Europa League game IIRC

Miscontrolled the ball.

Defender kicks the back of the striker's leg.

For me it could have gone either way and VAR should not get involved.

If that same series of events was in the box. and Lagerbielke kicks Dessers and he goes down it would be a penalty.

It's not a foul.
