Fulham manager Scott Parker took aim at the Video Assistant Referee system and said it was killing football's excitement after his side had a goal disallowed in Thursday's 1-0 home defeat by Tottenham Hotspur.

Tottenham took the lead in the 19th minute thanks to an own-goal by Tosin Adarabioyo, but Fulham thought they had equalised through Josh Maja before his effort was chalked off by VAR after Davinson Sanchez kicked the ball onto Mario Lemina's hand as the visitors looked to clear."We're trying to make the game so pure and so sterile and trying to control every single phase to an absolute tee and that's where the problem lies for me," Parker said.

"No longer do you celebrate a goal because you're hanging on thinking it might be disallowed and then you have a 10-second check. You're losing the raw emotion of the game we absolutely love and it's a shame."Advertisement
