I don't know about Clattenberg but my arm is permanently outside my body...In the Mail today, Mark Clattenburg says:
Rose's arm was outside his body and that, say UEFA, means the Spurs defender is making himself bigger. UEFA issued this instruction after similar incidents in the Champions League earlier in the season.
It was always going to be a penalty once it was referred to VAR and Rose knew it, you could tell by the way his body slumped. What I found interesting was that no City player appealed for the penalty and both sides seemed surprised when the game was stopped for the VAR check. This is because Premier League teams would not expect this sort of handball to be given as a penalty.
UEFA's instruction...
then why was TAA not given, he raised this arm, as I said on another tread it all depends on the guy in the VAR what is interpretation of incident is and his view of the rule.
His may be up UEFA’s arse.I don't know about Clattenberg but my arm is permanently outside my body...

The VAR incident that led to a penalty was farcical, if you apply the so called strict letter of the law then players making a sliding tackle clearance will do themselves an injury if they are forced to have their arms right by their sides as there will be nothing to break the force of their impact when they collide with the deck.
On the same night, there were far clearer cases for Fernandinho being set off for the elbow to Kane's head while he lay on the floor, and for Porto being awarded a penalty for Alexander Arnold's handball.
