Havertz is actually fouling Soucek

Deliberate attempt to get a cheap foul. Grabs his shirt then dives to the floor to pull them both down.

But that one is probably 50/50 so not clear and obvious.

The Trossard foul for me is clear snd is before the foul on the keeper. The ref was not shown an adequate replay/angle of this by VAR and so dismissed it. The correct outcome should probably have been disallowed goal and penalty to West H although you can argue that Pablo only fouls Raya because he is being fouled himself by Trossard and Gabriel.
