Viewers swarm to Twitter in outrage after Di Maria wins early Argentina penalty

Fans have swarmed to Twitter to have their say after a controversial penalty saw Argentina take the advantage in the heavyweight clash in the World Cup final on Sunday.

Angel Di Maria won his side a penalty early on in the first half of the World Cup final, after he appeared to be taken down by France's Ousmane Demebele in the 22nd minute.

Lionel Messi stepped up to successfully convert the spot kick by sending French goalkeeper Hugo Lloris the wrong way to give the Albiceleste an early 1-0 lead.
