'Game's gone!' – VAR slated again after controversial Rose handball gives Man City penalty

The list of VAR controversies is always growing, and it got another entry in Tuesday's Champions League match between Tottenham and Manchester City.

The quarter-final first leg was scoreless in the 12th minute when Danny Rose blocked Raheem Sterling's shot on goal.

With the ball striking Rose's slightly raised arm, referee Bjorn Kuipers went to the monitor to take a second look and eventually awarded a penalty to City.
