Let’s look at the facts here. Solanke did NOT touch the ball at all, he ONLY kicked Guehi’s leg which then lead to Guehi forcing the ball in his own goal.

Dominic Solanke did NOT touch the ball. Not even a slight touch. What he did was kick Marc Guehi’s leg, and that contact is what caused Guehi to lose control and force the ball into his own net The goal did not come from skill or a clean finish. It came from illegal contact.

By the laws of the game, that is a **foul**. If you kick an opponent and gain an advantage from it, especially inside the box, play should be stopped immediately. This was not a “50–50”. This was not “play on”. This was a clear foul that directly led to a goal.

The most shocking part is not even the referee missing it in real time. Referees miss things. That happens. The real scandal is that **VAR didn’t even properly check it**. No long review. No on-screen explanation. No accountability. Just silence, followed by the goal standing as if nothing happened.

VAR exists for moments exactly like this. Clear contact. Clear foul. Clear impact on the outcome. Yet somehow, it was ignored. That raises serious questions. Either VAR failed in its duty, or it chose not to intervene. Both options are unacceptable at this level of football.

Fans are not asking for special treatment. They are asking for **consistency**. We have seen goals ruled out for far less. We have seen matches stopped, replays slowed down frame by frame, and decisions overturned over the smallest touches. But here, when a player doesn’t touch the ball at all and only kicks the opponent, suddenly VAR is blind.

This is not about one team. It is about trust in the system. When decisions like this stand, fans lose faith. Players lose confidence. Managers lose patience. And the integrity of the league takes another hit.

So yes, people have every right to be angry. Because this was not “debatable”. It was not “subjective”. It was a **clear foul that led directly to a goal**, and it was ignored.
