Tottenham midfielder Giovani Lo Celso was lucky to escape a red card in the Premier League match against Chelsea AFP/Ian KINGTONLONDON: Former Premier League referee Keith Hackett said VAR got it badly wrong in Tottenham's 2-1 Premier League defeat at Chelsea on Saturday .
"Come on David Coote VAR," Hackett said."That is a red card every day. It's not a difficult decision. Lo Celso should have received a red card. VAR was introduced to the Premier League for the first time this season and fans are growing increasingly frustrated at its impact on the game.Chelsea manager Frank Lampard, speaking about the tackle, told BT Sport:"I hate to call for red cards but that is a leg-breaker. I am not saying about referees on the spot. VAR is here to clear things up and it is not good enough."
Fans also complain that VAR takes centre stage far too frequently and have been critical of the delays taken to reach decisions during play.
