VAR denies Wolves as Hamza sees red
Wolverhampton Wanderers had a goal controversially ruled out by VAR as they were held to a 0-0 draw at home to Leicester City, who finished with 10 men, in the Premier League on Friday.
The result leaves Leicester in third place on 50 points, a point behind Manchester City, while Wolves move up to seventh place on 36, five points off the Champions League places.
Wolves thought they had the lead just before the break when Willy Boly headed home after a short-corner routine but VAR ruled that Pedro Neto was marginally offside when he crossed.
The VAR footage showed Neto's non-striking foot slightly offside when he received the ball back from Diogo Jota from the short corner.
Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santo said the VAR system needed to be re-examined.
"It is reality now but each time it happens it upsets you. When you see the images, there is not a clear advantage but the law is the law," he said.
Leicester went down to 10 men when Hamza Choudhury was sent off for tripping Leander Dendoncker as he picked up a second yellow card in the 76th minute.
Wolves went close to a late winner when Raul Jimenez flashed a header from a corner just wide and in stoppage time Adama Traore forced a save out of Leicester keeper Kasper Schmeichel.
