Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish rages as Wilfried Zaha is denied a penalty

Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish has blasted VAR after his side were denied a penalty moments before Manchester United scored the opener during their Premier League clash.

The home side felt as though they should have been awarded a penalty after Wilfried Zaha was brought to the floor by Victor Lindelof. 

Stockley Park did look at the incident but decided that it was not worthy of stopping play to award a penalty.

Crystal Palace suffered a bigger blow just minutes later when Marcus Rashford spun the home side’s defence and placed the ball into the net.

Parish has tweeted: ‘Is the VAR broken? Serious question.

‘How can they look at Sakho ‘handball’ for minutes to ‘make their mind up’ and not even give that a glance! It’s a stonewall nailed on penalty even the most one-eyed Man U fans know it.’

Parish’s comments regarding Sakho are in relation to his goal which was disallowed during their 2-0 defeat to Aston Villa. 

Jordan Ayew thought he had equalised in the second-half but VAR ruled him marginally offside

The goal was ruled out for handball, though the ball appeared to go in off Sakho’s shoulder.

Crystal Palace thought they equalised in the second-half but had a goal disallowed for the tightest of offsides.

Jordan Ayew thought he had got his side back into the game but he ruled to be marginally offside by an inch.
