However, the panel felt Destiny Udogie should have received a red card from the referee for his first-half challenge on Raheem Sterling, but it wasn't a clear and obvious error for the VAR to intervene on.

It was a clear and obvious error and VAR should have shown it to the ref to make his own mind on it.

I still don’t understand this whole clear and obvious error requirement. If the ref misses something, then VAR should intervene and inform the referee to relook at the incident. If he deems his original decision correct, then we move on.

The fact that it’s an error but VAR doesn’t see it as clear and obvious and opts not to direct the ref to the monitor is so weird.

It's crazy to me that the ref wasn't sent to the monitor for the Joelinton foul on Gabriel. Seems like they do it very rarely now. If you only send the ref to look when it's clear and obvious, then what's the point of sending the ref?
