Curious tactic from Krull there. 

He stands before the penalty with his left hand raised pointing top left. 

Ronaldo therefore puts the ball bottom right.  This makes absolute sense to me, Krul has a lot of body adjustments to do to switch from left hand in the air diagonally to getting everything down to a bottom right save. 

Just think yourself how much more difficult it would be if you were stood like that compared to having your arms central ready to go either way. 

It's a split second thing but a split second is all you've got. 

Krul's a very good penalty saver in fairness so his technique tends to psyche plenty of takers off.

VAR had a blinder this weekend , handing  out 12 points 

Exactly was it was designed for, it's working perfectly, I mean they had to ease it in, they couldn't make it too obvious too soon but it's no holds barred in this country now, anything goes.

VAR only gave one of the penalties didn't it?  I'd have been fuming if we didn't get the Liverpool or Chelsea penalties at least.

If there’s contact, VAR will give it and the refs know it. 
Without VAR the refs are free to wave it away if they think the attacker is trying it on. Contact yes, foul should be no.
