CHRIS SUTTON: They got the right call in the end... as VAR is used to overturn Kieran Trippier's red card for a foul on Kevin De Bruyne in fiery 3-3 draw between Newcastle and Man City

All we can ask is: did VAR do its job? The answer is: yes it did.

Showing a red card to Kieran Trippier for stopping a Manchester City attack by bringing down Kevin De Bruyne was harsh.

As cynical as it was, he didn’t catch De Bruyne badly, so it was a yellow, no more, no less.

The Englishman was originally shown a red card but this was quickly revoked moments later

I can understand why a few City fans will disagree. But then if this was the other way around — if De Bruyne had brought down Trippier — they’d be arguing it was a yellow, not a red.
