The foul has been compared to a similar one from Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in the game against Crystal Palace earlier in the day.

Spurs manager Jose Mourinho certainly wasn’t happy about it as he slammed VAR after the game.
“They could have conceded a goal and got a red card for Robertson’s challenge,” he was quoted by the Daily Mirror.
