VAR has again sparked outrage after a six-minute delay in Manchester City's Carabao Cup semi-final‚ first leg at Newcastle on Tuesday. Antoine Semenyo thought he had doubled City's lead on the night with his second of the game at St James' Park‚ only for the goal to be ruled out for 'subjective offside' following a lengthy VAR check. Semenyo flicked home Tijjani Reijnders' corner but the officials adjudged Erling Haaland to have been in an offside position and impacting Newcastle defender Malick Thiaw's ability to play the ball.

MANCHESTER CITY 3-0 WEST HAM UNITED - NATHAN SALT AT THE ETIHAD STADIUM: How do you stop Erling Haaland? And if you successfully do that (West Ham didn't)‚ how do you stop Rayan Cherki? Miraculously pass steps one and two and it's just the small matter of Phil Foden‚ Tijjani Reijnders and Bernardo Silva in your way. West Ham failed every question in what is one of the toughest exams any side in the Premier League will face all season long: a title-contending City‚ at home‚ when they have wind in their sails. Haaland's brace‚ both fortuitous in one aspect but ruthless finishes from the world's best finisher in the other‚ either side of half-time drew a robot celebration for the first and a smile-shrug of the shoulders combination for the second. This is just what Haaland‚ now up to 19 league goals and counting this season‚ and City do.
