Fans claim FA Cup semi-final was ‘fixed’ as they spot ‘issue’ with VAR review

FOOTBALL fans accused Sunday's FA Cup final of being "fixed" after spotting what they believed to be an error in the decision to disallow Coventry's last-minute goal against Manchester United.

There is no evidence to suggest the match was fixed.

Coventry boss Mark Robins felt aggrieved about the decision in the wake of his side's heartbreaking defeat to Man Utd.
