Right call under a shitty rule.

Failing to pull back the foul on Origi that directly led to the Rashford goal was inexcusable. You can literally see his calf/shin ripple from the force of the foul. That's certainly clear and obvious in my book. I wonder if VAR didn't think it was a foul, or if they thought it was in a different phase of play? (Both clearly wrong in my eyes).
