Everton manager, Sean Dyche has come out to blast the decision to overrule Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s goal in his side’s defeat to Tottenham Hotspur. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, VAR clearly over-refereed that moment of the game because the on–field ref and linesman already made the right decision after having an amazing view.
Dyche added that it is sad how VAR mainly looks for contact in virtually every passage of play once the decision is up in the air.
His words, “I’m a big fan of VAR but I don’t know where that one lives today because I think VAR has over-reffed the moment. The referee and the linesperson has an amazing view, they’ve made the decision with all their experience of doing it. It goes out of the window because they can find contact.
They find contact with virtually everything. The amount of contact in the game we all know is alarming. They favour a penalty when someone has stepped on a toe. When you are stood on when you’re in the queue to get onto the tube, you don’t fall over. Apparently, that’s a penalty nowadays.”
