Superstar defender Matthijs de Ligt has appeared to get away with a “cast-iron” handball which should have led to Torino being awarded a penalty against Juventus.
In the 10th minute of this evening’s Serie A clash between Juventus and Torino, summer signing Matthijs de Ligt appeared to handle the ball – but the officials failed to award Torino with an apparent ‘cast-iron’ penalty.
After Tomas Rincon’s long throw-in into the box, the Dutchman appeared to handle the ball before clearing the ball in a dangerous area.
Take a look at the incident below:

In years gone by, that handball from De Ligt would have been a cast-iron penalty! I can’t believe it’s not been given. He survived one early in the season too.#Juventus #Torino

We can’t believe that VAR didn’t step in and overrule this decision, it looks like a clear penalty.
