Manchester City reached the FA Cup semi-finals with a dramatic comeback win against Swansea, but the absence of the Video Assistant Referee was one of the big talking points after the match.

Having trailed 2-0 at half-time, City pulled a goal back through Bernardo Silva and then levelled from the penalty spot after Sergio Aguero's penalty deflected in off goalkeeper Kristoffer Nordfeldt.

Swansea 2-3 Man City As it happened Swansea were aggrieved at the awarding of the penalty as Cameron Carter-Vickers appeared to win the ball rather than foul Raheem Sterling. And there was further controversy with City's winner as Aguero headed in from an offside position in the 88th minute.

VAR is in use during the FA Cup, but only at Premier League grounds, meaning neither decision was able to be reviewed.

We look back at the incidents and how they would have been impacted if VAR was in use, and what was said about the decisions and lack of VAR…

Would VAR have reversed the decisions? It's impossible to say for certain with City's penalty call, but it would have overturned the winner, which Aguero clearly scored from an offside position.

City's penalty was awarded when Sterling nudged the ball past Carter-Vickers, who slid and appeared to win the ball as Sterling went to ground.

Aguero then scored the winner as he stooped to head in from Bernardo Silva's cross.

Why was VAR not in use? FA rules this season state that VAR must be used, but only at games being held at Premier League stadiums.

Swansea were in the Premier League between 2011-2018 and their stadium is equipped for VAR. However, it was not used for this match.

If it's not a penalty and it's also offside, I am sorry. I don't like to win games when decisions are wrong. It's not easy
