Put it another way, if the ref hadn't given a yellow then VAR could have intervened and it would probably have been a red. But that doesn't mean either the use of VAR or the ref was wrong.

Is that the case in the EPL? I swear I've seen examples this season of VAR intervening in a yellow card decision to increase the severity...

Or maybe I'm just remembering the times they've undone a red.

Which brings me to my point - if VAR can decide it's not a red, why can't they decide it's worse than a yellow?

They can, but it's got to be a clear and obvious error. I guess that one wasn't clear enough to over-rule the ref.
