Disallowin­g Lamela’s goal was wrong.. ref needs to check it!

-

“FOR Erik Lamela’s disallowed goal in real-time, I didn’t see any foul in the build-up. “In fact, if there was one, it would have gone in Spurs favour. “So, when the goal goes in you’re thinking, 1-0 Tottenham. “But then the VAR intervenes. Now we know the VAR is there and will check every goal, but the problem here is, this was not a clear and obvious error, so why is the VAR getting involved?

“If the VAR does think that’s a clear and obvious error, then it’s a subjective one.

“So the official looking at the replays, Graham Scott, should have been telling the referee on the pitch, Paul Tierney, to go and view the monitor.

“If he does that, then I think he’d give the goal.”
