According to Dazn pundit Luca Marelli, that was a serious error.

Juve-Atalanta, Marelli on the penalty not given for Rowe: "The VAR should have intervened. Fine to wave play on, but you cannot go beyond the rules"

"Atalanta's complaints are legitimate. The ball goes into the middle of the box, Kalulu, clearly beaten by Rowe, grabs his shirt. The ball was heading towards Rowe and Kalulu was clearly late. He pulls the shirt for a long time and in a very obvious way"

Legitimate complaints

"It's fine to keep the bar high for physical contact and let more go, but you can't go beyond the laws of the game. Holding, if it's mutual, is understandable, but in this instance there is only Kalulu's hold"

“You cannot go beyond the regulations”

"In these circumstances, the referee may also miss it on the pitch, but VAR cannot fail to intervene. This is a clear penalty that has been missed, with a booking and not a sending off because a fundamental DOGSO criterion is missing, namely possession of the ball."
