Manchester City's Champions League tie with Monaco ended in chaos after the Ligue 1 giants were awarded a late and contentious penalty. Pep Guardiola's side were minutes away from sealing a crucial three points on the road, but the referee was told by VAR to take a look at the monitor for a penalty check.

An Erling Haaland brace, either side of Jordan Teze's stunning effort from the edge of the box, had the visitors in command. But with just a few moments remaining, Monaco defender Eric Dier got his head on the end of a free-kick, which was saved by Gianluigi Donnarumma, but a high foot from Nico Gonzalez caught the attention of VAR.
