You need slow motion to discern it's a kick.
If it was in real-time, no one would look. It would just be considered natural play.
This seems precisely the kind of use of VAR people were concerned about.

It's one of those where it only looks a foul when you slow it down. That shouldn't really be the threshold - as they're saying on BT now.
For me, Welbeck doesn't have control of that ball. Robertson is within his rights to clear it. There's just some minimal contact, as will happen in a contact fluid sport. I don't see it in any way as a "kick". You might - but even this debate indicates "not clear and obvious".
In saying all that, you could argue VAR *is* "evening out" given Liverpool have benefitted from a few etc etc - but we are getting into the cost/benefit debate with the system.
