At first it seemed that the assist of this ball was Luke Shaw, but Opta explained: "The ball bounced on Maguire's head before reaching Casemiro's head, so we determined that Maguire was the assist."

At the same time, the Premier League officials also confirmed why VAR did not check Casemiro's red card because the yellow card was not within its jurisdiction: "The referee showed a second yellow card due to Casemiro's foul, and the player blocked a threatening attack. According to the VAR agreement, the player's second yellow card will not be intervened by VAR."
