It's happened again.

Another Manchester City vs Tottenham game, more VAR controversy.

Last season's Champions League quarter-final clash between the two Premier League teams was shrouded in controversy as City thought they had won it in the 93rd minute through Raheem Sterling, only to see the goal ruled out by VAR.

Sergio Aguero was fractionally offside in the build-up, because Christian Eriksen's backpass was deflected into his path by Bernardo Silva.

And with VAR in the Premier League for the first time this year there have already been controversial incidents.

But the first big incident has come during the game between City and Spurs once more.

With the scores locked at 2-2 and the game in injury-time, City won a corner and the ball was delivered into the box. Aymeric Laporte went to nod it on into the path of Gabriel Jesus, who took possession and fired home.

But as City celebrated, VAR kicked in and adjudged that the nod on by Laporte had hit his arm.

Law 12 of the handball rule states: "The following handball situations, even if accidental will be a free-kick: The ball goes into the goal after touching an attacking player's hand/arm."

Technically the decision was right of course, but it aggrieved many watching on, including Sky Sports' co-commentator Gary Neville, who delivered a hilarious verdict.

He said: "It’s probably been Tottenham's best player today VAR."
