Everton fans rage as footage shows NOTHING on main VAR monitor as ref Simon Hooper overturned Dominic Calvert-Lewin's 'shocking' and 'stonewall' penalty decision - but chiefs insist he could see a rep

Daily Mail  

Everton fans are in uproar after it initially appeared referee Simon Hooper was watching nothing on the main VAR monitor as he scrapped his decision to award Dominic Calvert-Lewin a penalty against Brighton on Saturday. Everton fans are angry that Simon Hooper appeared to be watching no footage as he overturned his decision to award Dominic Calvert-Lewin a penalty Jordan Pickford rushed over to protest with Hooper with Everton 1-0 down at that point But Hooper was actually looking at a back-up monitor with the main screen malfunctioning, the Premier League has explained The Premier League Match Centre also said on X: 'The referee awarded a penalty to Everton for a foul by Dunk on Calvert-Lewin. ESPN's Dale Johnson posted pictures showing that the back-up screen was placed flat on the ground facing upwards, showing images of Hooper looking down at it with the main VAR monitor malfunctioning. 'Hooper checking the penalty decision today pitchside, forgetting 15,000 Everton fans in the stands opposite can see he's looking at a screen with nothing on it,' wrote one, having not seen the explanation.
