Ally McCoist was "absolutely not having" Manchester City's penalty against RB Leipzig on Tuesday night - slamming the handball decision as "disgraceful."The Premier League title-chasers thumped the Bundesliga outfit 7-0 but while Erling Haaland stole the show with a record-breaking FIVE-goal haul - the first time that has ever happened in a single Champions League game - it wasn't before some good old fashioned VAR drama.
Haaland's opener came from the penalty spot after City midfielder Rodri had headed the ball onto the arm of Benjamin Henrichs, and there were initially no appeals from the home players with play allowed to resume for more than ten seconds until the ball went out of play.
