Chris Sutton has slammed VAR for a 'lack of consistency' following Robert Jones and David Coote's call to ignore Leeds United penalty claims at Brentford. Crysencio Summerville was dragged to the floor by Brentford’s Aaron Hickey but neither the referee or VAR looked at the incident.
The decision left Jesse Marsch incensed - adding more fuel to the fire after Brentford were awarded a penalty in the first half - Whites' boss was shown a red card for his actions in the aftermath. The head coach will now miss next week's clash with Nottingham Forest at Elland Road.
Speaking to the Daily Mail, Sutton said: "In Brentford against Leeds, Ivan Toney won a penalty when referee Robert Jones was told by VAR David Coote that there was a foul by Luis Sinisterra. He was right — there had been and this was a worthy spot-kick.
