'What we want from VAR is good, fair and consistent decisions and we are not getting them at the moment': Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo hits out over controversial penalty after defeat at Leicester

Nuno Espirito Santo urged the officials in charge of VAR to up their game after Wolves lost to a controversial penalty at Leicester.

Jamie Vardy’s first spot-kick – he missed another just before half-time – was awarded when referee Anthony Taylor consulted the pitch-side monitor, having initially signalled a corner when Dennis Praet’s cross hit Max Kilman’s hand.

Footage broadcast by Sky Sports at half-time appeared to show Neil Swarbrick, the head of VAR, discussing the decision with Stuart Attwell, who was responsible for the system in this game.
