VAR Review: Nørgaard's tackle, Ward-Prowse's handball, and SAOT debut

After each weekend we take a look at the major incidents, to examine and explain the process both in terms of VAR protocol and the Laws of the Game.

In this week's VAR Review: Was Brentford's Christian Nørgaard lucky to escape a red card at Arsenal? Should Liverpool have been given a penalty for handball by James Ward-Prowse? And how did semi-automated offside go in its first weekend?
