Watch the 'blatant' penalty NOT given to Sunderland against Portsmouth - as supporters fume

Chris Maguire looked to have been tripped in the box, but referee Chris Sarginson waved away appeals – much to the dismay of the travelling squad and staff.

You can watch the controversial call in the video below.

Fans had plenty to say about the decision on social media:

@RamseySAFC said: “Literally one of the most blatant penalties ive ever seen”

@LiamFTM17 added: “Half of the time I wish VAR was in league one”

@APurcell92 commented: “if that's not a penalty you might as well do away with them”

@forsterchris0 posted: “I hate the referees in this league. @fa @efl #safc sort league one officiating out.”

@TheoCT98 tweeted: “We should set out to frustrate these but once again we have to be on the receiving end with these absolutely appalling referee decisions what is going on man”
