Dele Alli controversially awarded goal for Spurs amongst a day of VAR drama in the Premier League

Daily Mail  

Dele Alli had a late equaliser against Watford allowed despite VAR screens showing 'No Goal' on another day of controversy for the technology in the Premier League. The moment was one of several VAR incidents on Saturday as Wolves had two goals ruled out, Chris Wood saw his equaliser against Leicester chalked off and Conor Hourihane's first half strike against Brighton was also denied by the technology. Screens in the ground initially displayed 'No Goal' after Dele Alli's late equaliser Alli's goal was allowed to stand by referee Chris Kavanagh despite the message on the screen Raul Jimenez had a goal disallowed by VAR and was given a yellow card to his bewilderment VAR dubiously disallowed the goal for an apparent foul by Wesley on Matt Ryan in the build up The screens in the ground incorrectly showed 'No Goal' when officials had given the goal, sparking mass confusion. Alli gave a muted celebration after the goal, suggesting he did not expect the goal to be given The midfielder got to the ball before goalkeeper Ben Foster could gather it Chris Wood thought he had equalised for Burnley against Leicester City but it was ruled out VAR chalked off the late equaliser to maintain Leicester's lead and give them all three points Burnley players were furious at the decision to rule out Wood's goal against the Foxes 'I find it incredible that after seeing it back so many times from different angles, you find it's not a goal,' said Sean Dyche.
