According to DailyMail

Referee Anthony Taylor awarded Vardy’s first spot-kick after consulting the pitch-side monitor, having initially signalled a corner when Dennis Praet’s cross hit Max Kilman’s hand.

Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo was unaware of that incident but warned that ‘it is difficult to coach a player and tell him he must put arms [by his sides] as he will be unbalanced.

At the end of the game, Wolves midfielder Ruben Neves complained to Referee Taylor ‘What we want from VAR is good, fair and consistent decisions and we are not getting them at the moment.'
