Another piece about it
VAR review: It's petulant, but the suggestion we should be seeing VAR red cards for this is wide of the mark. It was looked at by Brooks but not deemed to be an act of violent conduct.
We see players kick and throw the ball at opponents regularly, but they are never sent off for it. That's not to say you couldn't argue the case within the law, but Haaland would really have had to throw the ball with far more force or brutality for the VAR to consider this to be a red card -- but the City striker would have been booked had the on-field officials seen it.
As the VAR looked at it there can be no retrospective action, not that it would have reached the threshold for a charge. Although the possibility of retrospective action still exists, VAR means the chances of an incident not being looked at by any of the officials are extremely slim. So, as a consequence, it doesn't happen anymore.
