I don't understand why if a player slides in

like Ayling did, misses the ball and an attacking player then trips over his grounded leg its foul and a penalty but when a player slides in, misses the ball and the attacker goes down because his foot happens to land on that outstretched leg and that has caused himto lose his balance then people seem to view it differenty.

In both situations, the defender has challenged for the ball, not got it and has ended up impending/bringing down the attacker.

Its not like Rashica somehow changed his stride pattern to land his foot on Aylings leg.

Its a foul in my view and i'm pretty convinced that had it been the other way round leeds would not have had that penalty overturned and would have been awarded the one in the first half.

Another incident thats been somewhat glossed over is Harrison's stamp on Max's groin with a few minutes left when he'd already had a yellow card. Blatantly obvious on the replays yet VAR didn't intervene.
