Bent fumes at 'embarrassing' VAR as Fernandes unpunished for push but Mitrovic sent off

talksport.com, 19 March 2023, 18:41
Former Premier League star Darren Bent took to Twitter to vent his frustrations over VAR following wild scenes between Manchester United and Fulham.

The Cottagers took the lead in their FA Cup quarter-final at Old Trafford thanks to Aleksandar Mitrovic, who soon went from hero to zero.

United were awarded a penalty for Willian's handball on the line, with the Brazilian being sent off.

Mitrovic was given his marching orders too for shoving the referee, with Marco Silva also being dismissed in the process.

However, talkSPORT pundit Bent was not impressed with consistency from the officials, referring to when Bruno Fernandes pushed the assistant referee in Man United's 7-0 loss to Liverpool.

He tweeted: "Bruno gets nothing for pushing a linesman but Mitrovic gets a straight red for bumping the ref, inconsistent VAR. Embarrassing."

It was a hectic few minutes, with Fernandes equalising for United from the penalty before Marcel Sabitzer gave them a 2-1 lead.

Fernandes then scored United's third as they made the most of their two-man advantage.
