Man City crowd left raging after being shown VAR replay for controversial penalty with Pep Guardiola losing it
MANCHESTER CITY fans and Pep Guardiola were left fuming after a replay of a controversial penalty decision was shown on the big screen at the Etihad.
City took an early lead against Aston Villa via Bernardo Silva but then just minutes later, the visitors wanted a spot-kick.
Jacob Ramsey was knocked to the deck after a tangle with Ruben Dias in the penalty area.
But the coming together was waved away by referee Craig Pawson.
VAR reviewed the incident and sent the official to the pitchside monitor.
Pawson eventually decided to overturn his decision and give a penalty after being shown a replay picked up by a camera behind Ramsey.
The foul was then shown on the big screen at the Etihad Stadium but a different angle appeared to be used.
A view from behind the City goal was selected instead and it showed Dias getting a toe on the ball rather than clipping Ramsey's heels.
It enraged the home support, who loudly booed and whistled.
Guardiola was equally incensed and he protested wildly in his technical area.
The City boss was gesturing that Dias had pulled out of the challenge and got a piece of the ball.
Guardiola was booked for his antics but Marcus Rashford kept his cool to score the penalty to level things at 1-1.
