Jeff Stelling fumes at VAR as Barnsley man is sent off in League One play-off final
It was reviewed by VAR but the decision stoodBut after a bright start to the second period and either side yet to draw blood, Barnsley were reduced to ten men following midfielder Phillips' high, late challenge on Owls forward Lee Gregory.But the decision and use of VAR didn't sit well with former Sky Sports host Jeff Stelling, who tweeted: "VAR total joke again in League One play off.
"Clear Barnsley pen [penalty] denied and moments later a red card for a challenge that is yellow at worst. Afraid to tell the ref he has got it wrong." The Tykes players, coaches and fans were up in arms just moments before Phillips was sent for an early bath as their penalty shout was waved away. Liam Kitching - who scored in the play-off semi second leg against Bolton - was brought down inside the area and the decision was referred to VAR.
