The fact that he hit the keepers hands is irrelevant. if it was another players head (not the keeper) it would have stood and been see as an accidental head clash within the moment, "a part of the game" if you like.

We place too much protection around the keepers at all times, when the only time we should be protecting them more is when they're on the ground around swinging feet/legs.
I agree with you. But given that that is not currently the case, and outfield players concede a foul for breathing on a keeper, then I think its a foul (in the current environment). My point though was more that since the ref didn't think it was one, why was VAR able to say he'd made an obvious error to overrule it?

I don't know. I was a fan of VAR being implemented but the further along this season goes the more opposed I'm becoming to it. I still like the concept, but they need to go WAY back to the drawing board with how its implemented.
