Disgraceful elbow produces another VAR fiasco at Confederations Cup

Laughable.

After the recent fiasco that unfolded in the Germany vs Cameroon match, you would be forgiven for thinking that the biggest points of contention regarding the use of VAR have been discussed. Well, the Confederations Cup final has created another unnecessary talking point after Chile's Gonzalo Jara only picked up a yellow card following this elbow on Germany's Timo Werner. As you can see below, Jara steps across to intercept the ball from the RB Leipzig striker, but he clearly leads with an elbow to the jaw. The referee didn't quite see the incident in full, but after consulting with the video assistant referees, he only showed a yellow to Jara, who is very, very lucky to still be on the field. Here's the incident in full. https://twitter.com/JogaBonitoUSA/status/881594753091072001 https://twitter.com/itvfootball/status/881595200858185728 Naturally, people have been making the obvious point. https://twitter.com/LuchoGarcia14/status/881595704161980416 https://twitter.com/SportsJOE_UK/status/881594139745411072 https://twitter.com/TonyBarrett/status/881595229530402821 https://twitter.com/MarkOgden_/status/881594341982076930 https://twitter.com/jamosfoundation/status/881594488916856832 https://twitter.com/philmcnulty/status/881594600162512896 https://twitter.com/RobStoneONFOX/status/881594519711473665 https://twitter.com/DaxMcCarty11/status/881594633838620677 https://twitter.com/maxrushden/status/881594340828737537
