Leeds Denied Penalty Against Manchester United After Controversial VAR Review

Leeds fans were left raging after VAR controversially denied them a penalty against Manchester United.

Jack Harrison lofted a cross into the box with Luke Shaw controlling the ball with his arm.

Leeds players appealed for a penalty with Mike Dean reviewing the incident on VAR.

But he failed to award the hosts a spot kick after standing with the original decision to the dismay of furious fans on social media.

One Twitter user wrote: "Other way round = pen."

A second tweeted: "It's Varchester, what do you expect"

A third added: "VARchester United strike again. But I bet they'll get a pen if that happens down the other end."

Some supporters also compared the incident to Callum Wilson's handball where he was adjudged to have handled the ball before scoring against Liverpool on Saturday.
