‘Killing the game’ rant furious fans as Tottenham denied goal after ‘ridiculous’ FIVE-MINUTE VAR check

FANS have claimed VAR is “killing” football after Tottenham were denied a goal after a five minute check.

Lucas Bergvall found the net against Southampton before being chalked off following a lengthy review.

Tottenham had a goal disallowed following a five minute VAR checkVAR judged Cristian Romero to have committed a foul in the build-up

The midfielder poked home after Cristian Romero headed a free-kick back across goal.

But Romero was judged to have pushed his opponent in the back as he won the header, meaning the goal was not allowed to stand.

It took ages for VAR to reach their conclusion, much to the frustration of fans watching on.

Many criticised the officials for five-minute delay and claimed VAR is ruining football.

One supporter said: “It’s ridiculous. 5 minutes to rule ou Bergvall’s goal. How can that be clear and obvious? VAR is killing the game.”
