The regulations require the ball to be completely stationary before a restart, and players are frequently instructed to retake a kick if the ball is in motion. However, in this particular instance, the violation of the rule went completely unnoticed by referee Darren England in real-time. Additionally, there was another little-known peculiarity that prevented the video assistant referee, John Brooks, from intervening. According to VAR protocol, checking for restart infractions during the buildup to a goal is not permitted.
