Everton were not awarded a penalty in the immediate build-up to Jarrad Branthwaite's red card against Brentford despite confirmation that VAR did check the incident.
The Blues were reduced to ten men midway through the first half as the centre-back tangled legs with Ivan Toney while the Brentford striker was looking to run in behind the defence.
The decision itself faced little argument, but controversy surrounded the moments beforehand.
