'So the VAR is working now after sleeping on the handball?': Man United fans rage at injustice after being denied penalty shortly before soft foul on Bukayo Saka in the box was given for Gunners

Manchester United fans were left fuming at the 'inconsistency' of VAR after being denied a penalty against Arsenal.

Ralf Rangnick's side appealed for a spot-kick when Cedric Soares appeared to use his hand to take the ball from underneath Jadon Sancho's feet in the box, but Craig Pawson was unmoved and VAR did not intervene.

Moments later, those at Stockley Park did step in when Alex Telles forced Bukayo Saka over at the other end and the Gunners were awarded a penalty. Saka himself stepped up to score and give his side a 2-0 lead.
