Ah yes, the video evidence. Also a constant object of discussion in the English Premier League, which was "enriched" by a chapter today. The bone of contention is a clear penalty - or is it not?
The incident happened during the top match between Newcastle United and Arsenal. Jacob Murphy made a disastrous back pass in the 14th minute, at the end of which Magpies keeper Nick Pope took out Gunners striker Viktor Gyökeres.

Referee Jarred Gillett immediately decided on a penalty, but a few seconds later he was told in his ear that he might be grossly wrong with his decision.
Gillett then looked at the scene on the monitor again - or rather a thousand times - and then decided that Pope had indeed played the ball first before he brought down Gyökeres. The penalty was therefore withdrawn.
