Former Leeds United defender and ex-Premier League referee clash over penalty controversy

Former Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher and ex-Leeds United full-back Stephen Warnock have clashed over the decision to not award Leeds a penalty in the first-half against Wolves on Saturday.

The Whites ended up winning the game 2-1, but there was a hugely controversial moment when Leeds were a goal down. As a high ball went into the Wolves box, goalkeeper Jose Sa appeared to clatter into Rasmus Kristensen, leaving him on the floor needing treatment. However, neither referee Robert Jones or VAR gave a penalty.

Speaking on 'Ref Watch' on Sky Sports News, Gallagher said those types of challenges from goalkeepers are 'never given' as penalties.
