I could say red and you wouldn't be any the wiser ;-)

Works either way - an Arsenal fan would have loved to see Tosin go just as much.

Definitely don't see the two episodes as identical though, Colwill's position making all the difference. Correct outcomes in both cases I'd say (red for Saliba, yellow for Tosin).

Two far more similar incidents were the penalty rightly given to Liverpool and the chop on Sancho just earlier at the other end which VAR didn't even review. As always, it's not VAR that's the problem, but the people using it!

Colwills position doesn't help, he's behind play!

If he was kind of level, either to the left or right, there may be a case, but he's at least t yards back. There is no allowance in the rules for whether that player is fast/faster than the attacker.
