Tottenham fans issue Eric Dier and Callum Hudson-Odoi comparison after Chelsea penalty call

Tottenham Hotspur fans have had an enjoyable day on Sunday, following a comfortable 4-0 Premier League victory at home against Burnley.

A resounding win for Jose Mourinho's side has provided a boost in confidence following on from a few difficult results in recent weeks.

That win has allowed Spurs fans to relax with their feet up for the remainder of the day but many have chosen to continue watching the Premier League's entertainment on offer.

The feature game of the day was Chelsea's hosting of Manchester United at Stamford Bridge, as the two top-four chasing teams went head-to-head in west London.

While it was a goalless first half, there was plenty to discuss following a VAR decision that left many supporters scratching their heads.

After Marcus Rashford's free-kick was palmed away by Blues goalkeeper Edouard Mendy, Callum Hudson-Odoi appeared to handle the ball on at least two occasions.

While Mason Greenwood also seemed to strike the ball with his arm, his touch occurred after the one from his England teammate.

United fans were understandably furious at the decision, as they took to social media to share their thoughts, but they weren't the only fanbase left frustrated.

Tottenham fans also jumped on the incident, comparing the decision to a call that was given against Eric Dier during Spurs' 1-1 draw with Newcastle United in September.

That penalty, which came in the 97th minute, was widely criticised and the fact that a different decision has occurred this time around has left fans calling for consistency.
