Manchester City defender Aymeric Laporte has criticised the use of VAR in his side’s 3-1 Champions League quarter-final loss to Lyon on Saturday.
Pep Guardiola’s outfit crashed out of the competition unexpectedly, but their defeat was not without controversy with Laporte at the heart of the action.
When Lyon scored their second goal, the centre-back fell after a tangle of legs with OL forward Moussa Dembele, who took advantage of the situation to run through and score what proved to be the winner. Complicating the situation further was a dummy from Karl Toko-Ekambi, who was in an offside position but did not touch the ball.
