he has always had hard time with crosses but for sure this is 100% a foul.. how the hell VAR missed it. insane..
I also think that it was a foul although De Gea should have dealt with it stronger , but where were the 2 center backs when the corner was taken? wrong positioning by Maguire & Lindelof.

Premier League explanation:

Later clarifying the decision, the Premier League told Sky Sports that the goal was given because Calvert-Lewin’s challenge was deemed ‘normal contact’, with the striker’s eyes clearly set only on the ball rather than inhibiting the path of the goalkeeper.

100% foul but yes he should have gone for the ball harder.
It was definitely a foul on the keeper but you are right, he should have got his fingers on it and got a touch on it at least.
Brings back a bitter memory for me of something similar as I went up to catch a high ball and as I had the ball in my hands I got a strong nudge on my back and lost the ball but still thinking too much about trying to catch the ball I forgot about my landing and crash landed on my ankle and twisted it badly, the loose ball was tapped in for a goal and I walked off the field limping and left leaking my wounds for the next couple of months, no foul either!

And then you joined the VAR campaign. LOOL.
