VAR slammed as Leeds and Bournemouth fume over being denied penalties with key decisions criticised

"What was VAR doing? It can't be a clearer penalty."

This was the reaction of Leeds manager Daniel Farke after his side's 1-0 defeat to Sunderland - but it may well have been the words of Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola.

Like Farke, Iraola was left dumbfounded by the failure of the officials to spot what he - and many others - thought to be a 'clear and obvious' penalty in Bournemouth's 0-0 draw with Brentford.

Here, we break down the key flashpoints on yet another difficult night for the officials - and the key reaction.

The Premier League Match Centre, which clarified the decision to award Sunderland a penalty for a handball by Ethan Ampadu in the second half, did not post about the reasoning behind this call on X.
