'The world's gone mad!': Steve McManaman hits out at VAR after Rodri's stunning goal for Man City against Copenhagen was ruled out for brushing Riyad Mahrez's hand in the build-up

Steve McManaman hit out at VAR after Rodri's stunning strike in Manchester City's Champions League clash with Copenhagen was disallowed on Tuesday.

The Spanish midfielder looked like he had given Pep Guardiola's side the lead in the 11th minute when he fired home a long-range strike.

However, the referee was instructed to check his pitchside monitor, and decided to chalk off the goal after spotting a handball in the build-up by Riyad Mahrez. McManaman, who was on commentary duties for BT Sport, was left bemused by the decision.
