There's a still frame shot showing that the keeper may just have a fraction of a millimetre of heel still on the line.

The camera angle from behind the keeper is pretty conclusive to me: both feet in the air as the ball is struck.

However, that just illustrates the entire problem with VAR: it's enforcing the letter of the law to the detriment of the spirit of the game. A goalkeeper with two feet off the ground when a penalty is struck gains no real competitive advantage; likewise an attacker whose toes are an inch or two beyond the defender's when the ball is played, as with Lingard at the Nations Cup and Aguero in the Champions League. Fundamentally, if any on-field refereeing "error" is something so marginal that a human being couldn't reasonably be expected to spot it in real-time, then it has no business being overturned on VAR. And I'd feel exactly the same way even if my team was benefitting from it, because the fact is that if you concede a goal like Lingard's or Aguero's, or fail to score a penalty like Argentina's, then it's not because you were cheated; it's because your players weren't good enough in the heat of the moment. Having VAR ride to your rescue in those circumstances is simply being bailed out on a technicality.
