He was probably advised to rule out the goal for the illusion of consistency after the uproar after our 'foul in the build up' decision (which was actually less directly involved in the goal-at least the push was in the box & clear for all to see).
Imagine a season without goals. VAR has done its job. Last day of the season, 20 teams in with a shout of the title & 20 keepers contesting the Golden Glove.
