Also nodded every single aerial ball down to a Tottenham player.

The tackle on Son should have been a straight Red.

Around the 2:15 minute mark

Good decision for me. Player pulled out and Grealish still dived.

Never a dive. Zaha gave him a shove that put him off balance then he went down as he played the ball.

Definite dive. Yes he was off balance from the push but he started going down before the contact, left his leg in as he was going down.

He was pushed, caught by Cahill, and his momentum, and sorting out his feet as he was off balance, when playing the pass caused him to fall. You could see him watching his pass, never even began to appeal for a penalty.

The worst VAR decision this weekend was the Tielemans "challenge".

I think if it wasn't for VAR he would have got it. It's going to take some players and some fans some time to adjust to this. You won't get the penalty when you're already going down and you play for the contact by leaving your leg in. If anything it was a freekick for the push but then VAR doesn't intervene in such cases.

Perhaps they are ruining VAR on purpose then later say "well, we tried".

Think Harry deserved a red card for simulation.
