'Get rid of VAR' - should Henderson have seen red in FA Cup final?

Crystal Palace goalkeeper Dean Henderson was at the centre of attention during Saturday's FA Cup final against Manchester City.

The England goalkeeper superbly kept out Omar Marmoush's penalty by diving full stretch to his right and made a stunning save to deny Jeremy Doku's curling effort in the first half.

But should the Palace number one have been on the pitch to make those vital interventions?

City defender Josko Gvardiol played a long ball over the top for Erling Haaland to chase on to and Henderson hesitated, before stretching out a hand outside the box to divert the ball away from the City striker.
