Gary Neville asked if something was 'allowed' on air following a controversial moment during Manchester City vs. Aston Villa.
Man City opened the scoring at the Etihad as Omar Marmoush created an opening before his deflected pass found its way to Bernardo Silva, who slotted home.
But Villa levelled proceedings 11 minutes later when Marcus Rashford converted a penalty.
Ruben Dias tripped Jacob Ramsey inside the box, with Craig Pawson not interested in the collision until he was told to go to VAR.

Following a VAR review, Pawson pointed to the spot to the dismay of Dias, who remonstrated the decision to award a penalty.
Before Villa took the penalty, the incident was shown on the big screen, with Man City players and fans reacting to Dias' foul on Ramsey.
Loud boos could be heard inside the stadium as Man City players protested the decision.

On Sky Sports commentary, Neville questioned if showing a replay on the big screen was 'allowed'.
He said: "He leaves his right leg in, it's clever. They showed a replay on the big screen... are they allowed to do that?"
Rashford made no mistake from the resulting penalty as he coolly sent Stefan Ortega the wrong way to make it 1-1.
Pep Guardiola was booked after Villa's equaliser, with Dias also being shown a yellow card.
The Premier League issued a statement shortly after the VAR incident.

On X, they wrote: "VAR checked the referee’s call of no penalty to Aston Villa for a challenge by Dias on Ramsey - and deemed there was a clear trip and recommended an on-field review. The referee overturned the original decision and awarded a penalty to Aston Villa."
During the break, Sky Sports host Kelly Cates confirmed replays are shown if a decision is overturned by VAR as Roy Keane agreed with the award of the penalty.
