A goal was ruled out against and for Tottenham by VAR at the weekend.
Garth Crooks has told BBC Sport he believes Tottenham Hotspur’s players were too easily distracted by VAR incidents at the weekend.
Spurs had a goal ruled out at the weekend for Serge Aurier which would have given them a 2-0 lead.
They went on to concede twice and lose the game 2-1.
Crooks believes Tottenham let the frustration get to them and the players’ mindsets played a part in the defeat.
He said: “As for Tottenham; they are too easily offended by matters that really shouldn’t affect them.
“They have had more than their fair share of good fortune where VAR is concerned and when the technology goes against them they should be in a position to adjust just as quickly as when it is in their favour.”
Spurs were fortunate to avoid defeat against Manchester City earlier in the season, with VAR ruling out a late goal.
Leicester had a goal disallowed in the first half themselves, so Saturday’s game had a bit of everything for them.
It means Spurs are 10 points behind leaders Liverpool already after just six Premier League games, leaving Mauricio Pochettino’s side with an early mountain to climb if they want to win the title.
