Super happy with the 3 points.
Can someone explain how Gordon's studs up challenge wasn't a red? That was a ankle breaker and Sotirio was lucky not to have been injured.

Sure - Kurt Ams
From memory VAR did have a look, and they decided on a yellow. Commentators mentioned mitigating factor could have been Sotiro actually having his foot off the ground when Gordon caught him.
Of course that should have been Gordon's 2nd yellow, and game would have been easier from that point for the Nix. You could actually make a case for Gordon even being sent off in the first half. Definite yellow for Piscopco tackle, and marginal taking out Hemed near the 6 yard box.
Arms & VAR had a mare, when you throw in WSW's goal which should have been disallowed. But I also wonder just quietly if what Taylor does at attacking corners is totally legal. He made Margush's life hell, and wondering if some refs would pull that up, when Arms let it go. But yeah the combo of Taylor's antics, Lewis's delivery and big Hemed at corners looks a winner - keep it going.
And still wonder if Robinson if he keeps his job, would look at signing his old Whitecaps keeper Marinovic. Apart from the corners, Margush was very good - but Robinson clearly not happy HT/post match with WSW conceding soft goals. Moot point if he's shown the door.
