By the context of this thread, I am assuming VAR didn't even check that handball, right?
I'd honestly rather hear the on-field referee's rationale/lack thereof. "Reviewing for penalty, referee says no foul, defender got the ball." "Reviewing for penalty, referee says no foul, no contact." Even "reviewing for goal, potential shirt tug on goalkeeper unseen.by referee." Clear and obvious error becomes a much more objective and understandable standard if we know what the referee saw/thought he saw/didn't see.
We actually could've gotten a pen tho, I am not complaining as he was mostly fineAnthony Taylor today...

We got lucky today in terms of ref decisions, Gabriel probably should’ve gotten a second yellow.
Mac Allister on Havertz wasn’t a pen.
Come of it. How were we lucky. Mac Allister on Havertz was very close call as Mac Allister actually makes contact with Havertz before he makes contact with the ball.We got lucky today in terms of ref decisions, Gabriel probably should’ve gotten a second yellow.

So you think it is too soft to give that as a foul but don't think giving Gabriel a yellow for the Nunez challenge is ok. Nevermind the first yellow Gabriel got for barely touching Gakpo. Getting send off by getting 2 yellows for 2 very soft fouls is called being unlucky not lucky.
Arteta getting rid of Xhaka before they could do this to him 4 times a game:
I"m sorry but this seems like an awful idea as it just gives the ****ing refs one more way to ruin everything. Can already tell it will be used against players with "a reputation" more than anything else.
