Video – VAR taking a day off after missing a clear penalty to Tottenham

VAR has been at the centre of controversy before and after football resumed and you would have thought the officials operating the technology would have learned some lessons by now but it seems not.

Harry Kane was clearly pushed over in the penalty area and it was as clear a spot-kick that you would ever see but for some inexplicable reason VAR decided against awarding the penalty.

Have a look at the video and judge for yourselves but I have no doubt you will all agree it was a nailed-on penalty.
