Once you see two hands in live play, it looks like a push, a clear push. I delayed the whistle so that the play could continue, then obviously gave my final decision once the ball had gone into the goal and that allows the VAR then to potentially check if I've misread something or if it doesn't quite look right. But on-field it looked a very, very clear offence.

The challenge by Matty Cash on Daichi Kamada was a poor challenge and deserved a red card. Cash comes in with speed and catches his opponent with his studs above the ankle, which could have risked a bad injury. This should have been a red card, and again, I cannot understand what the VAR is looking at when it comes to these types of challenges.
