There would have been an 'outcry' if Crystal Palace had a similarly 'outrageous' VAR decision awarded against them in the FA Cup Final, but fans and pundits did not stand up for Manchester City because it would have spoilt a great underdog story, Chris Sutton has told Ian Ladyman on the latest 'It's All Kicking Off!' podcast.

Palace defeated City 1-0 in a contentious FA Cup final. Midfielder Eberchi Eze scored the game's only goal, and the club won its first major trophy in its 119-year history.

Former Manchester United Goalkeeper Dean Henderson should probably have been sent off after denying Erling Haaland a goalscoring opportunity by handling the ball outside the penalty area.
