Social media reactions as fans question VAR yet again over Rodri's handball incident following Manchester City's priceless win over Everton on Saturday

Manchester City recorded a hard-fought 1-0 against Everton at Goodison Park on Saturday evening in the Premier League.

After playing out a goalless draw in the first half, Phil Foden's scruppy goal in the 82nd minute was enough to settle the encounter as the Cityzens ran out with all three points, maintaining their lead at the top of the summit as the title race continues to heat up.

Everton forward Richarlison thought he had won a penalty later three minutes after Foden's goal only to be denied a chance after a VAR checked.

However, the biggest highlight of the game came in the 84th minute after City midfielder Rodri was adjudged to have handled the ball in the City box as the defending Champions tried to close out the game.

But nothing was ultimately given after the matter went to VAR and fans non-Twitter have quickly reacted to the incident.

How can that Rodri handball not be a Penalty. EPL referees with inconsistent rules application. This really sucks.

Last week Romero tried to pull his arm down and out the way whilst diving to block the ball… penalty.

Today Rodri puts his arm out to the ball to control it… no penalty.

Both decisions to the advantage of Man City 🙄

The league is rigged mate! how on Earth isn’t that a pen on Rodri?! That’s two hand balls City have gotten away with now.

That's how they robbed Arsenal too.
This should be investigated, you can't let this kind of decisions go away like that when VAR and monitor are available to assist the ref in major decisions like this Rodri handball. #EvertonvsMancity
