Vincent Kompany expressed his frustration with VAR for failing to overturn Luton Town’s controversial late equalizer against Burnley on Friday night.
In a crucial match at the bottom of the Premier League table, Burnley believed they had secured three crucial points with Zeki Amdouni’s first-half goal. Luton equalized in injury time when Carlton Morris headed in Alfie Doughty’s cross, causing pain for the Turf Moor faithful.
Controversy surrounded the goal, with Clarets goalkeeper James Trafford colliding with Elijah Adebayo, preventing him from catching the ball before Morris’ decisive header.
The Hatters players were hesitant to celebrate the goal for fear of a foul, but after a few minutes the VAR allowed the goal to stand. This decision caused fury among the local team and its coach.
Vincent Kompany attacked the referees after the match, via TNT Sport: “First I hope the referee sees it, none of the Luton players have celebrated, the striker’s gaze is towards the referee to see if he got his way. he.
“I do not know how [officials] “I communicate and there is an open line of communication, but I want people to understand that it is against my nature to complain about such things.”
The controversial VAR decision, which awarded Luton Town a late goal amid minimal celebration and frustration from Burnley, leaves the Clarets four points from safety, having played one more game.
