'The guys at Stockley Park must be having a toilet break': Graeme Souness tears into 'SCARY' VAR after Man City star Phil Foden is denied a stonewall penalty after a clumsy challenge from Southampton keeper Alex McCarthy

Graeme Souness certainly didn't hold back when giving his opinion on VAR after yet another controversial decision during Manchester City's clash with Southampton in the Premier League.

During the first half at the Etihad on Wednesday with the scoreline 1-1, Phil Foden was denied what looked to be a stonewall penalty following a clumsy challenge from Saints goalkeeper Alex McCarthy.

After the referee dismissed the penalty claim, VAR also somehow overlooked it despite McCarthy making clear contact with England star Foden's ankle.
