Vincent Kompany was left ‘frustrated’ with VAR after they failed to disallow Luton Town’s controversial late equaliser against Burnley on Friday night.
In a huge game at the bottom of the Premier League table, Burnley thought they had secured a precious three points thanks to Zeki Amdouni’s first-half strike.
However, Luton grabbed a stoppage time equaliser after Carlton Morris headed in Alfie Doughty’s cross to crush the hearts of the Turf Moor faithful.
There was much controversy surrounding the goal however as Clarets goalkeeper James Trafford had collided with Elijah Adebayo, preventing him from catching the ball before it reached Morris.
Even the Hatters players hesitated to celebrate the goal as they feared a foul would be given, but after a few minutes VAR allowed the goal to stand, much to the fury of the home side and their manager.
‘There was the softest penalty given against us at Aston Villa and we were already down to 10 men with two soft yellow cards,’ Kompany told TNT Sports.
‘It happened against Bournemouth where should have been a penalty. And it has happened again here, there is a clear attempt to stop the keeper from coming out. I thought they were incredible today but the moment there the referee has got to get it right.
