'We've been robbed' - Man City fans rage as VAR denies Blues four penalties in five minutes

Manchester City were left fuming after they failed to win a penalty after four appeals through three VAR checks on Saturday.

During a five-minute spell during their Premier League home match against Brentford on Saturday, City had four penalty appeals rejected by three VAR checks.

The first came when Bernardo Silva skipped along the byline and attempted to knock the ball past his man, only for the ball to strike the hand of Rico Henry.
