Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou believes VAR should be scrapped in the Premier League amid the ongoing debate around the use of the technology.

Spurs claimed a hugely controversial 2-1 victory over Liverpool last Saturday after Luis Diaz's goal in the 34th-minute at 0-0 was incorrectly ruled out for offside, with the Professional Game Match Officials Limited subsequently admitting a 'significant human error' had occurred. Postecoglou believes the mistake was a result of the VAR room rushing their decision to prevent a long delay which disrupts the 'frenetic pace' of football.

Maybe that's a consequence. 'That suggests to me the technology in its current form is not suitable to our game but I know I'll be in the minority with that.' He added: 'I don't know what the game's going to look like in 20 years and I'm not sure I'm going to like it.
