Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou has slammed VAR after their heavy home defeat to Chelsea in the English Premier League on Monday night.

Spurs lost 4-1 to concede their first defeat of the season.

The game had several VAR delays, with the hosts having two players sent off and five goals denied after reviews.

“It’s a hard game to analyse, but in terms of effort, will and determination it was an outstanding effort by the lads,” Postecoglou said.

“I thought we started really well, scored a good goal, then we were inches away from scoring a good second, but it was offside. Then the game got out of control, there was a lot happening that made the game a little bit not within the parameters we want to play.

“It felt like after that there were a lot of disruptions.

“I thought they gave everything they could and, unfortunately, it was not enough.

The gaffer added: “There will be a forensic study of every decision out there, I think that is the way the game is going and I don’t like it. If you look at all that standing around we did today, maybe people enjoy that sort of thing but I’d rather see us playing football.”-Soccer24 News
