I missed it in real time, but maybe it explains Pascal’s poor performance for the rest of the game

Def elbow straight in Pascal face. I guess the officials question was, is there intent or accidental?
Intent is irrelevant. It was dangerous play, he led with his elbow straight into Gross’ head. It’s a straight red. It’s this simple.

There was clearly intent as well though. Maybe not to strike him in the face, but intent nonetheless. I still can't get my head round how VAR missed it.

Agree. I wasn’t suggesting there wasn’t intent, more pointing out that it doesn’t play a part in deciding the straight red.

The way VAR has been operated recently, I can only think they checked the tackle and failed to see the elbow as I cannot understand how he wasn’t sent off.

Excruciatingly awful performance from the ref. Lets not forget this the Spurs VAR official. Obviously the red which he didn't even give a free kick for but terrible terrible decisions for both sides throughout. A couple of very obvious fouls for Fulham were given our way and he simply couldn't decide whether to stop the game for an injury or not. One of the very very worst.
