However, with the Spurs defender left rolling around in agony, he was quickly sent to the monitor to review the incident.
Oliver pointed to the spot after a matter of seconds having seen the incident again.
Davies had beaten Rice to the ball as he attempted to clear the ball from inside the Arsenal penalty area.
As a result, the midfielder’s follow through upended Davies and left the Welshman in pain.
Gary Neville had immediately called for a penalty on commentary after the contact, with fans shocked Oliver missed the foul at first.
Reacting on social media, one supporter wrote: “The fact Michael Oliver needed VAR for that, is brazy. Rice almost kicked his balls.”
