"Brentford had a penalty overturned by a lengthy Video Assistant Referee (VAR) check as the Bees pursued a fourth straight home win at the expense of Leeds United in the Premier League on Sunday. Igor Thiago had scored from the spot in each of Brentford's previous three home games and the striker seemed set to have a chance to continue that run"
""It didn't look as if there was much in it," former Scotland international Pat Nevin told BBC Sport, adding that a penalty would have been "tough" on Leeds. "That is the softest of soft ones. If you touch a player at all, they fall down. It's millimetres - it's just a couple of inches of his head that was offside.""
A Brentford penalty was overturned by a three-minute VAR review when Dango Ouattara was ruled marginally offside after being adjudged to be dragged down by Gabriel Gudmundsson. Igor Thiago had scored from the spot in Brentford's previous three home games and looked set for another opportunity before the decision. Pat Nevin described the penalty as a tough call and called the offside marginal, saying it was only a couple of inches. Ouattara joined Brentford for a club-record £42 million in August and has been awarded four penalties this season. Brentford made four changes to the starting lineup and listed substitutes amid several injuries.
