So what qualifies as a 'clear goal scoring opportunity'  I would suggest a fair test would be, will a player from that position score over 50% of the time.  So from the semi circle would Vydra score over 50% of the time, I think we know Vydra well enough to suspect he would not.  Definitely a yellow card and a foul for handball, but did it deny the goal scoring opportunity, not so sure?  An interesting fact the ref has now handed out 111 red cards compared to his nearest challenger with 66.  His last two were also overturned on appeal.

Ajayi’s control was awful, he put himself into that situation

I would go back and look at it again  

Agree it was a shocking pass from Gallagher that put him into a difficult situation but it was no way impossible for him to defend that without handling the ball. Would Vijdra have scored - as opposed to say, Mo Salah? It doesn’t matter which player was involved, he denied a clear goalscoring opportunity, there was no covering player - also get the impression that Ajayi knew the outcome as soon as it went to VAR
