Jacob Ramsey of Aston Villa was deemed to have held the arm of golakeeper Wes Foderingham.
Anston Villa fans were left fuming after VAR chalked off their opener against Sheffield United.
The Villans thought they had broken the deadlock in the 59th minute as Leon Bailey side-footed home a squared ball from Ollie Watkins at the back post. But the goal was ruled out by referee Anthony Taylor after he was advised to head to the monitor by VAR.
It became clear that goalkeeper Wes Foderingham was pulled back as a corner came in in the build up, with replays showing Jacob Ramsey fouling him by gripping his arm.
even after Foderingham had flapped at the ball, the Blades had the chance to clear but were dispossessed, leading to Watkins’ cross for the goal. And the amount of time between the incident and the goal left Villa fans furious, as they claimed play should not have been brought back so far.

A third tweeted: “VAR is soooo bad! Got to get rid of it,” and a fourth added: “Disgrace of a decision!”
