In my opinion, VAR should have picked up that moss had missed the contact between the players, no chance he’d have booked toffolo for diving had he seen it.
Therefore, moss had made a decision without all the relevant info, and should have reviewed it on the monitor himself and decided whether it was a pen.
The use of the monitor is stupid generally as it always results in a decision being overturned, which it shouldn’t. The message should be, there was contact, take a look yourself and decide.
Had moss just played on, fair enough, perhaps not a clear and obvious error, but booking toffolo means to me that he had made a clear and obvious error as he’d not seen the contact.
