Former Premier League referee offers verdict on Leeds United's Diego Llorente VAR incident

Former Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher has given his verdict on an incident involving Diego Llorente in Leeds United's 2-2 draw at Southampton.

The Whites let a two goal lead slip in the clash at St Mary's. Leeds went two goals ahead on the hour mark thanks to a brace from Rodrigo, before Southampton fought back with strikes from Joe Aribo and Kyle Walker-Peters.

The incident involving VAR occurred in the 14th minute of the game, when Southampton's Stuart Armstrong raced through on goal after latching onto a through ball, before being challenged by Llorente. Referee Tony Harrington waved play on, outraging the home supporters, with Armstrong left on the surface holding his leg.
