Markus Babbel sent off after furious reaction to controversial VAR decision in Sydney derby

Anger over the A-League's controversial video review system is set to reach fever pitch after Western Sydney coach Markus Babbel's send-off in a 2-0 derby loss to Sydney FC.

The Sky Blues continued their dominance over the Wanderers on Saturday, courtesy of Adam Le Fondre and Alex Brosque goals either side of half-time at the SCG.

But yet another incident from the video assistant review system will steal headlines after Babbel was marched midway through the second half.

Western Sydney winger Roly Bonevacia appeared to have set up a grandstand finish when his low shot beat Andrew Redmayne at his near post.
