Ryan Kent Rangers penalty call splits the pundits as Hibs punishment branded 'cheap' after VAR steps in

Hibs defender CJ Egan-Riley has been offered a defence after the defender was punished for a foul on Rangers star Ryan Kent in the box following a VAR check.

Michael Beale's men romped to a convincing 4-1 victory at Easter Road after suriving an early scare when Matthew Hoppe's cross was sent into the Rangers net by Connor Goldson. Despite Lee Johnson's side netting the opener, the visitors were quickly back on level terms when Kent was tripped in the box by a sliding Egan-Riley.

Referee Don Robertson initially waved away the claims from the winger for a penalty, but David Dickinson in the VAR room sent the man in the middle to the monitor to review the flashpoint. Following the check whistler Robertson would point to the spot allow James Tavernier to step up to the spot and level the game, setting the Light Blues on their way to a convincing victory.
