Former Sunderland and Tottenham Hotspur striker Darren Bent described VAR as 'embarrassing' following the chaotic scenes that unfolded during the second half of Manchester United's 3-1 FA Cup quarter-final win over Fulham at Old Trafford on Sunday.

After Aleksandar Mitrovic had given the Cottagers a fully deserved 50th-minute lead, United were offered a route back into the contest with just under 20 minutes of normal time left on the clock.

Jadon Sancho, after rounding goalkeeper Bernd Leno, saw a goal-bound effort blocked on the line by Willian, with the Brazilian using his arm to block what looked like being a certain goal.

Referee Chris Kavanagh, following a VAR intervention and a quick look at the pitchside monitor, made the decision to send the winger for an early bath.
