CHAOS reigned at Elland Road when Leeds were awarded a stoppage time penalty against Arsenal – only for VAR to overturn it.
Gunners defender Gabriel Magalhaes was dramatically sent off in added time for appearing to kick out at Patrick Bamford.
The pair clashed as Bamford took exception to Gabriel’s challenge.
Referee Chris Kavanagh originally pointed to the spot and gave Gabriel his marching orders after speaking to his assistant referee.
But Kavanagh was then called to consult the monitor to check for a foul on Gabriel by Bamford in the build up.
And in an incredible ending to the game Gabriel’s red card, and the penalty, were both OVERTURNED to leave Leeds boss Jesse Marsch outraged.

Bamford was judged to have pushed Gabriel in the back, which then resulted in the defender to kicking out at the Leeds striker.
Gabriel’s card was then downgraded from a red to a yellow for unsporting behaviour.
In a pulsating ending to the game, Arsenal eventually managed to cling on for all three points.
It came after the game was suspended for 40 minutes because of a POWER CUT.
