Ref Watch: Was Romero lucky not to see red for Cucurella hair pull?

Dermot Gallagher dissects the big flashpoints from the weekend's Premier League action. Chelsea 2-2 Tottenham

INCIDENT: Tottenham equaliser for 1-1 - was an offside Richarlison interfering with play?

VERDICT: Possibly.

DERMOT SAYS: The logic here is that the VAR will have been asked to decide if he is impacting on the goalkeeper. You think yes, I think possibly, they think no. Their logic is that the ball comes a long way, he's a long way away from the goalkeeper, there was also a nick off Kalidou Koulibaly. With all of that factored in the VAR felt the goal stood, that's the logic. I can understand how they have arisen at that decision, I can understand why people would be angry at that.

Stephen Warnock: For me, he is interfering. He is in the vicinity, he is in the eyeline of (Edouard) Mendy, I think he is leaning to the left to see around. The one that interests me is the distance from goal. This isn't kids' football, this is the Premier League, the elite league, where players strike the ball at a speed. For me, Richarlison is active. I know they say he isn't, but he is, he's on the pitch. This is the rule which drives me insane. He's in and around the penalty area and around the vicinity of the goal.

INCIDENT: Was it a foul on Kai Havertz 44 seconds before Tottenham's equaliser for 1-1.

VERDICT: Yes, it was a foul, but VAR cannot go back that far.

DERMOT SAYS: Definitely. The referee is the clue here, he points at the ball and says he took the ball. He plays for the ball, but he takes the man instead. The referee quite clearly says no foul. The game goes on 44 seconds, but you are never going to go back that far. It's a consequence rather than the incident itself.

INCIDENT: Should VAR have given Cristian Romero a red
