Watch: Despite VAR review, how was this not given as a penalty?

Tottenham came from a goal down to beat Sheffield United 2-1 scoring 2 goals in 2 minutes late in stoppage time.

Sheffield United had taken the lead in the 73rd minute and had been extensively time-wasting to preserve their advantage.

But Richarlison scored in the 98th minute to equalise for Spurs from a Perisic corner before Kulusevski fired in the winner two minutes later to win them the game.

The game had it’s fair share of controversial refereeing with both teams left upset with the officiating.

While the Sheffield manager felt hard done by the referee telling them to go long each time in order to not waste time, Spurs also had a couple of decisions go against them.

In particular there was a penalty shout involving James Maddison. Clip shows the England midfielder taken down by the defender but despite VAR review Spurs were not awarded a penalty.

Watch the incident below:

 

Should it have been a penalty?
