NO PENALTY! Livramento fires a ball into the box, and Longstaff's heavy touch at the near post allows Leno to race out and snuff out the danger. However, Wilson goes down under the challenge of Adarabioyo off the ball, and a VAR review checks whether there was enough contact to warrant a penalty. However, the on-field decision of no penalty is confirmed.
