Jamie Redknapp has blasted VAR's inaction after Kai Havertz was denied a penalty in the first half of Arsenal's game against Everton, labelling the decision "a disgrace".
A clumsy challenge from Michael Keane on Havertz in the 23rd minute was ignored by on-field referee Andy Madley - and very quickly cleared by VAR official Stuart Attwell.
Keane and Havertz were grappling as the Arsenal forward entered the Everton area, before the defender clearly trod on the back of his opponent's foot.
Sky Sports' Alan Smith, on co-commentary at the Emirates Stadium, said he was "amazed they've [the officials] taken so little time" to examine the incident and clear it of any wrongdoing.

Speaking at half time, Redknapp said: "It's so clear. How on earth have VAR taken three seconds to say that's not a penalty? That's a horrendous decision.
"It's definitely a penalty and it should be overturned.
"We see VAR make decisions sometimes that everyone at home can see is not a penalty and it takes five minutes.
