The red should carry on as per normal and not be able to "ask"/be told to review something.
Just say a goal is scored. There's a hint of offside. Referee should award the goal if that is his instinct and there was no flag. The review should take place while players celebrate and make their way to the kickoff. There's at least 60 seconds to review and call it back if neccessary with no impact on the game, except player emotions.
If a player is brought down and ref thinks penalty, award it, then while players set up for the penalty review it. Or if it is missed play continues, VAR reviews it and if it is a penalty play is brought back. It's doubtful a team would score within 20 seconds of a turned down penalty. If it was a dive, caution the player. This could help eliminate diving. And if it was a fair challenge it should either a corner/throw in if the ball went out or a drop ball from where the ball was when play is stopped.
They are just making a mess of it.
The whole yellow card/red card, should not happen. Referee saw incident and acted as he deemed appropriate.
