Luton defender Lockyer: Morris was stonewall penalty

Luton Town defender Tom Lockyer has questioned a VAR decision in their game against Fulham.

The newly promoted club believe they should have been awarded a penalty in the game.

However, VAR checked over the incident and decided against awarding a spot kick, and Luton lost the game 1-0.

Replays did show that Luton star Carlton Morris was fouled before he could get to a ball during a set piece.

Post-game, Lockyer told reporters: “If I was to be honest with you I'd have a long ban from the FA, it's as simple as that.

"It's a stonewall penalty on Carlton, I have no idea what's the point of VAR if that's going to be their threshold.

"It's a rugby tackle, he's not even looking at the ball.
