Tottenham Hotspur striker scored a crucial goal, and was approved by VAR.
Tottenham Hotspur earned a dramatic victory over Manchester City in the Champions League.
Tottenham’s players were the stars, but VAR took it’s fair share of the headlines.
VAR ruled out Manchester City’s late strike through offside, and approved Fernando Llorente’s header.
Llorente’s goal came off his hip, and appeared to brush off his arm or elbow first. Replays made it impossible to conclude strongly either way and the goal was given.
Pundit Craig Burley has said he was unimpressed with the angles the referee was given to work with to adjudicate the decision.
Tottenham did not complain, having had a harsh penalty given against them in the first leg.
Sergio Aguero missed that for Manchester City, and Hugo Lloris’ save looks pretty crucial right now.
