VAR called it right mate. Like what ref stated, it was careless challenge. A player can shield the ball, but can't be careless with their opponent when involving in the challenge. This is not football, not boxing.
He wasn't covering the ball, it was a skill move that didn't end up well. I disagreed with the commentator when he said it was a careless play from King, in that position it was the only option he had to move the ball which he succeeded but mistakenly step on the opponent, all the same way, we don't need to dispute with referee because it was the right call.
