'All thanks to var'

    Howard Webb 


Referees' chief Howard Webb says Michael Oliver "will be really disappointed" to have not initially awarded a penalty for Declan Rice's foul on Ben Davies in Sunday's Premier League derby between Tottenham and Arsenal.

In his attempt to clear the ball in the box, Arsenal midfielder Rice caught Tottenham defender Davies without touching the ball.

Referee Oliver initially waved away appeals for a penalty before the video assistant referee (VAR) intervened and recommended he reviewed the decision, which was then overturned.
