Crystal Palace were denied a potential penalty early on during their clash with Manchester City, with VAR not giving the Eagles a spot-kick.
The Eagles thought they had a blatant penalty, after John Stones brought down Wilfried Zaha in the box, but the referee and VAR had other ideas, not handing Palace a penalty.

The decision did not go down well with a lot of the Palace faithful, with a lot taking to Twitter to vent their frustration.

Palace fans were very disappointed with the decision, with the penalty looking like a certain spot-kick.
However, VAR disagreed and later would rule out a penalty for Manchester City also.
Therefore, it could be said that it was evened out.
