Norwich City captain Alex Tettey has fumed over a VAR decision to award a penalty to Manchester United winger Daniel James.

Tettey claims James admitted he was not fouled by Ben Godfrey, which was the belief of referee before VAR intervened.

"It was a bit strange," Tettey told VG. "The referee tells me there was no penalty. I told him there was no punishment. James told [Tim Krul] that there was no penalty.

"However, then we get someone who sits somewhere and says they are penalties. I don't think so.

"I was really p*ssed off throughout the game. First and foremost, we do some things that are really weird and then you have this VAR stuff that makes you have to wait.

"You play the game, you have adrenaline from before, you don't need more things to create excitement.

"What is it about? Just decide it so the game can move on. How can they determine that they are penalties? If the referee sees it clearly, can't he decide? Who knows?"
