Overwhelming Agreement: VAR Right to Disallow for Foul on Raya.. full list
Ex-Referees / Referee Experts (Broad consensus on correct decision)
• Mark Clattenburg (ex-Premier League ref): Clear foul — Pablo’s arm across Raya stopped him challenging for the ball. VAR correct to review and disallow. 
• Mark Halsey (ex-Premier League ref): “You can clearly see that Pablo has impeded Raya… Todibo has got hold of Raya’s shirt… two fouls in there!” Correct decision. 
• Dermot Gallagher (ex-Premier League ref, Sky Sports): Foul by Pablo occurred first (chronological order); officials got it right. 
• Darren Cann (ex-Premier League assistant ref): “It is a foul by Pablo holding David Raya’s arm and clearly impeding Raya… Also, shirt pulled by Todibo… It is a foul, that is the bottom line.” 
• Chris Foy (ex-Premier League ref): Analysed as a foul on the goalkeeper in post-match reviews. 
Pundits / Ex-Players

• Alan Shearer (ex-Newcastle/BBC): “It probably was a foul, he had his arm across him.” Agreed on incident but noted consistency issues. 
• Gary Lineker (BBC): “I do think it was a foul.” Noted grappling but agreed on the specific call.
