Repercussions of the Decision

The VAR official involved in the decision, Tomasz Kwiatkowski, has been axed from tonight's Champions League clash. Former Premier League referee Mark Halsey believes that Uefa should address the controversial call. Meanwhile, manager Eddie Howe stated that the penalty was not the "right decision."
