Premier League: Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho lambasts VAR, says remote officials have more power than on-field referees

Firstpost  

Mourinho’s anger was compounded when VAR assessed another incident where Saints goalkeeper Alex McCarthy dived at Alli’s feet to get to a loose ball and got there first. Tottenham Hotspur manager Jose Mourinho has launched a broadside at Video Assistant Referees after his team’s New Year’s Day defeat to Southampton, saying remote officials have more power than on-field referees over big match decisions. Spurs lost 1-0 at Southampton with a spectacular Danny Ings goal separating the two sides but Mourinho was fuming over a potential foul on midfielder Dele Alli inside the box in the first half that was not assessed by VAR. What I know is the Dele Alli penalty was a penalty and the VAR didn’t interfere.” Mourinho’s anger was compounded when VAR assessed another incident where Saints goalkeeper Alex McCarthy dived at Alli’s feet to get to a loose ball and got there first.
