He is their youngest ever first team player with a debut at 16 years old, so he clearly had a pathway at Everton ahead of most players his age. He has only just turned 17 last month, so was hardly being stifled.

I suspect they were covering up the red card double jeopardy fuck up. It probably should have been a penalty, but no red card. Jonathan Moss probably didn't want to be in the position of removing the red card but still giving the penalty. If only we could hear the conversation between the VAR and ref!
The footage Jonathan Moss saw on the pitch-side monitor was just from one angle over and over on a loop. There was an even more damming angle they chose not to show him!
