GARY LINEKER has blasted the latest "ludicrous" VAR decision to go against Wolves.
Luton profited from a "nuts" penalty award for handling after the ball ricocheted off Joao Gomes' leg onto his raised hand in Saturday's 1-1 Prem draw at Kenilworth Road.
It follows Wolves being denied an obvious last-gasp spot-kick against Manchester United in August.
On that occasion referee Simon Hooper and his VAR team somehow failed to spot Red Devils' keeper Andre Onana wiping out Sasa Kalajdzic as United held on to win 1-0.
And the verdict from pundits on the new video-replay controversy was just as harsh this time.
Lineker blasted the decision against Brazilian midfield Gomes.

Another argued: "VAR needs to be scrapped."
