'What a pile of S***!' Alan Shearer SLAMS the decision to award Manchester City a first half penalty for handball against RB Leipzig... as Rio Ferdinand claims the laws of the game are at fault

Alan Shearer led the outrage from pundits at the award of a controversial penalty for Manchester City in the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie with RB Leipzig.

Pep Guardiola's side headed into the clash with the score 1-1 on aggregate after last month's first leg.

After starting brightly at the Etihad, City were given a penalty when VAR adjudged Leipzig defender Benjamin Henrichs to have handled in the area.

The spot kick was awarded despite no City players appealing for it, while the ball appeared to barely touch Henrichs's arm - although it was outstretched.
