VIDEO: Tottenham furious over disallowed goal. Was Kane really offside?

Things were really hot in London on Wednesday night. Tottenham managed to turn the game against Sporting Lisbon in the setup, but their goal was disallowed due to offside. This has become a very talked about topic not only in England.

Tottenham are not having an easy time of it. Group D in the Champions League is currently the only one in which neither team is certain to qualify for the knockout stage before the last match. However, Spurs might just be the team that could come closest.

They almost beat Sporting Lisbon on Wednesday. Although they were down from the 22nd minute, they were the better side, equalizing 1-1 in the 80th minute and scoring a second goal in the last seconds of stoppage time to complete the turnaround. But…

The situation was controlled by VAR and the referee headed to the video. He examined the situation for a few minutes, and he certainly didn’t make a rash decision. And the goal was surprisingly disallowed because of Harry Kane’s offside. So after a great outburst of joy came anger and resentment.

It’s not only in England that the situation is being resolved. There is no clear consensus on the correctness of the disallowed goal. On the contrary.

Conte was sent off, he was furious after the game

Antonio Conte is known as a big stormer and an emotional coach. He proved his reputation when Tottenham’s goal was disallowed. He even earned a straight red card, something we don’t see too often with coaches.

And he was furious after the game. “I think there are times when you understand that you just disallowed a regulation goal because the ball was in front of Kane in that situation. VAR hasn’t brought us that much luck this season in the league or in the Champions League. On the contrary, it causes great damage,” Sky Sports quotes him as saying.

“I would like to see if VAR is this bold and if they would make such a decision, I repeat an unfair decision, in an important game against another top team. I’m sorry, but I’m really angry. Sometimes we can accept the situation but sometimes it’s not good because I don’t see the sincerity in it,” the Italian strategist added.

The fact is that the points loss puts Conte under pressure. Especially if the group should not be promoted because of this loss. Therefore, the Italian insists that the club understand the situation.
