‘The handball rule is a complete CAR CRASH’: Angry Man City fans blast VAR decision to penalise Ruben Dias and award Liverpool a penalty in Community Shield - as Mo Salah scores decisive spot-kick to restore Liverpool’s lead in 3-1 win

Manchester City fans have been left fuming following their side's 3-1 Community Shield loss to rivals Liverpool following a controversial penalty decision.

Mohamed Salah's cross was met by new star striker Darwin Nunez who's header then struck the arm of City defender Ruben Dias as he tried to intercept the ball.

Nunez's header looked to be heading off target and out of play prior to Dias' interception but referee Craig Pawson pointed to the penalty spot.

Salah scored from the spot to reinstate Liverpool's early lead before Nunez then scored late to seal Liverpool's victory.
