VAR denies Wolves’ bid to close on top-four spot

Wolves missed out on the chance to close the gap on the top four as they were held to a goalless draw by 10-man Leicester City amid more VAR controversy.

Just before half-time, Willy Boly looked to have opened the scoring for the hosts after a short corner routine but his close-range header was ruled out with Pedro Neto judged to be offside in build-up.

Leicester midfielder Hamza Choudhury was sent-off 14 minutes from the end of normal time after collecting two bookings in the second half.

But in a game full of incident and goalscoring chances, the main talking point was Boly’s disallowed effort.

Only Sheffield United, with five, have had more goals ruled out by VAR decisions in the Premier League this term than Nuno Espirito Santo’s side and the decision was greeted with derision by the home supporters who chanted ‘What a load of rubbish’ and ‘Is it football anymore?’.

The result leaves Leicester third in the table, a point behind Manchester City. (Text courtesy of the BBC)
