VAR came to the rescue for Goran Pandev when his goal was initially disallowed for handball, but it wasn’t necessary for the clumsy foul on Roberto Pereyra.

Pandev had his celebration cut short by the referee’s whistle after chesting down a ball and turning to fire in from close range.

After viewing it on the VAR monitor, the Serie A debutant referee acknowledged it had only struck his stomach.

There was no technology necessary to spot Domenico Criscito’s foul on Pereyra and Rodrigo De Paul converted the resulting penalty into the roof of the net.
