New footage reveals Manchester City's penalty appeal was turned down in injury-time against RB Leipzig after the ball struck Benjamin Henrichs on the shoulder

New footage has revealed Manchester City were denied a late penalty against RB Leipzig after the ball struck defender Benjamin Henrichs on the shoulder rather than his hand.

City players appealed to the referee in the dying seconds of the first leg of their Champions League tie, which finished 1-1 in Leipzig.

Pep Guardiola's side were convinced Henrichs had pushed the ball away with his hands in the penalty area.

Appeals were turned down by the referee, initially prompting astonishment by BT Sport pundits

Former Premier League referee Peter Walton claimed the appeal was not checked by VAR, adding the initial angle of the incident appeared to indicate a handball offence.
